The full-scale house has a long history in theatrical set design, and the addition of video projections and digital effects in recent multimedia theatre has resulted in some extraordinary productions that compress or reconfigure ideas of time, space and place, and interrogate the close interrelationships between the macro and micro, and the real and the unreal.
Despite Manovich’s claim that there is ‘no space in cyberspace’ (Manovich, 2001), spatial metaphors and representations are omnipresent in digital technology. Blessed with unreliable machinery, unfocussed theoretical discourses and unprecedented opportunities, twentieth century media art struggled with a coherent concept of space for a post-industrialised, post-modern modernity.

LASALLE diploma graduate Huang Yifan, 22, was commissioned to create a special Olympic-themed sculpture held to celebrate Singapore’s hosting of the inaugural Youth Olympic Games. Aptly titled A World United, the winning design captured the unifying spirit of sport.
“I was inspired by the universality of sport, and how it is able to unite countries and cultures and foster peace. The stylised shapes of the athletes form a ring to symbolise unity and harmony,” said Yifan.
LASALLE alumni received the top honours for their contributions to the Arts in Singapore, at the 2010 Art Awards Presentation Ceremony held on 12 October.
Amanda Heng, who graduated with a diploma in Fine Arts, Printmaking from the class of 1988, was one of the three people who were awarded the prestigious Cultural Medallion.
