Resident Artists
The CCRI Resident Artist program offers an opportunity
for international artists working in cyberarts to visit Singapore
and enjoy the resources available in the Cyberarts Studio, Resource
Library, and to work with our collaborators within the National
University of Singapore and throughout the Singapore region. Artists
often team up with students in the University Scholars Programme
to create a mutually rewarding experience in which the students
gain exposure and experience and the artist benefits from bright
and enthusiastic young minds. Often the work that artists create
during their residencies attracts the attention of curators and
critics worldwide.

2002 - Agnes Hegedus, Hungary, Germany |
|
Video and multimedia artist Agnes Hegedus joins CCRI from
her native Hungary and adopted home of Germany. Known for
her interactive projects like The Fruit Machine, Handsight,
and Configuring the CAVE, Hegedus's work has been seen at
Ars Electronica, Siggraph, Artec, ISEA, and other international
venues. For her residency with CCRI, Agnes Hegedus will create
"The Seer," a project in which eye tracking is used
as a navigational tool through layers of images. The areas
that have been looked at will fade away the longer the viewer
observes them. Underlying images/video sequences will then
be revealed, enabling the viewer to penetrate deeper into
three dimensional layers of space. Within a short period the
viewer creates an image collage, where exactly the things
he/she wanted to see are subtracted and replaced by other
layers of information.

2001-2002 - Charles
Lim, Singapore |
|
Charles Lim, also known by the moniker "Deadfish,"
and one of the artists in the group Tsunamii, is a veteran
computer gamer and digital artist. His work addresses regional
politics in often playful and cheeky ways. "The Artist-in-Residence
programme is a showcase of the dynamic cross-disciplinary
exchange between artists and students, scientists, engineers
and ultimately, between art and technology."

2001-2002 - Margaret
Tan, Singapore |
|
Margaret Tan works with a wide range of media from objects,
performance and installation to new media, situating her work
within a feminist context. She is currently tutoring on "New
Media Arts" for the School of Computing, NUS, and lecturing
with the Department of Art Theory and Art History in LASALLE-SIA
College of the Arts, offering courses such as History of Performance
Art, Issues in Performance, History of Installation Art and
Domesticating Space: Constructing the "Home." The
work she produced during her residency at CCRI was featured
at the Nokia Singapore Art 2001 exhibition at the Singapore
Art Museum, and will be included in the International Showcase
of Electronic Arts in Japan. Speaking of her experience with
CCRI, Margaret Tan remarks that "students... were exposed
to the historical and conceptual development of the work and
in return, I was given technical help as well as tutoring
in certain software skills. It was a wonderful mutual and
lively exchange."
