About the Work

Inspired by Malay folklore and the traditional game of congkak, the film reimagines a childhood pastime as a haunting visual narrative. It was made through a hybrid pipeline that joins conventional 3D production with generative AI tools — using AI to speed up ideation and visualisation, while the story, cultural meaning and worldbuilding remain firmly in human hands.

About the Exhibition

Living Festival is the exhibition track of the Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design. Rather than a fixed display, it treats the exhibition as a changing, participatory space, bringing together more than eighty Vietnamese and international artists, photographers and designers.

About the Exhibition

Organised by the Faculty of Creative Multimedia at Multimedia University, the fourth InventX Creative exhibition asked how artificial intelligence is reshaping creative practice and artistic identity. Its theme, TAP: AI — Extension or Extinction, framed AI in three ways: as an extension of the artist, as a threat of extinction where automation meets originality, and as a source of new possibilities co-created by people and machines.

About the Work

Malay woodcarving motifs — the radial bloom and the curling sulur tendrils of a carved panel — are digitally sculpted and brought to life in a one-minute 3D film. The work treats the carver’s craft as something that can be remembered and re-performed in the digital studio, with light moving across the wood as the bloom slowly returns to being.

“Gamelan breathes through the wood like a quiet zikr. Each form remembers the light that first called it to life. And in that remembrance, the bloom returns to being.”

About the Exhibition

Digital Craftsmanship asked what “the artist’s hand” means when generative AI, algorithms and automated tools have entered the studio. The exhibition brought together forty-seven artists and teams from Korea, the United States, Europe, Southeast Asia, China and beyond, all working with a shared digital toolkit yet arriving at very different forms of “digital touch”.
