Light Years, Week Days. Experimental Sculpture/Sound Work at The National University of Singapore Museum Singapore 2023

Commissioned by the National University of Singapore and the Government of Singapore, the work was first presented by the NUS Arts Festival (NAF) 2023.

Light Years, Week Days is a collaborative project between visual artist Kate Daudy and Prof Kostya Novoselov, director of the Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials.

The art installation, curated by Karen Lim from the NUS Museum and the NUS Public Art Initiative, features interventions by students from the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music’s Sonic Circuit and Live Interactivity modules, guided by Dr Chow Jun Yan and supported by the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum.

This interdisciplinary project creates a unique learning opportunity for students to explore the intersections of art, music, science, and engineering, and experiment with creative music innovation by interacting with the artwork. Composer Chow Jun Yan has also created two modules inspired by the installation, making Light Years, Week Days the perfect platform for interdisciplinary learning.

Notably, the installation features contributions from I-FIM students, including Sergey Grebenchuk and Mikhail Kravtsov. Please look at the videos which illustrate the sound.
