Programme Synopsis This programme is co:created with Berny Tan, a local artist, curator, and writer. It aims to give students a first-hand experience of a process-based, instructional means of creation, taking inspiration from conceptual approaches that Berny has developed in her own practice. Students will be invited to engage in other ways of reading and representing information from a piece of text in an abstract, visual manner. In a series of guided experiential art-making activities, students would unpack the conventional ways of reading and comprehending texts, and realise that text can be interpreted and represented in many ways. Students would also try their hands on creating their own rules and systems that allows them to express their individual curiosities and areas of interest in a certain piece of text. This refreshed stance towards reading would be further expanded through an interactive presentation by professionals in data science. Students would learn about their work in translating big data into visual representations that can be understood by others, with the use of coding techniques.
