What is the most urgent need that you have?
I would like to showcase and share my experience on the new media and design scene in Malaysia. For technical, I may need a projector and speaker to support my presentation.
What is the best/ interesting case or project on new media arts that you have just recently experienced?
Few of the interesting project I had involved in the new media arts include the creative development of the Angkasawan project, to develop and interactive kiosk and the recent Digital Malaya Project exhibition in Urbanscapes (held in KLPac, Kuala Lumpur), where we feature multimedia / new media arts including interactive touch screen puzzle for our audiences.
In your opinion, is there a potential for change on and change through a policy level, i.e. has the status of policy as an accelerator/ a meaningful factor for practice changed?
I believe in the potential growth in the new media arts. As we speak, more art schools and colleges introduces student to explore their talents by channeling their work with new media. We have high school students that are ready to explore the creative digital art through computer application and tools to suit their needs. Malaysia had introduced the MSC Malaysia Multimedia Creative Content Initiative to help emerging creative talent to step forward into producing new media content, promote, sell and market their creative products through our grants and funds provided by the government. Al though it is new, we don’t actually have a dedicated policy but more likely awareness and organization that can help to provide platforms and opportunities.
