Project Connect conducted a 2 day workshop with the children living in Clan Jetty, Pulau Pinang. The workshop began with exploring personal accounts by the children of special and memorable spaces within the Clan Jetty. From there, workshops on experimenting with line and drawing were conducted. The final product was a hand painted map that showed those significant locations  that was explored during the beginning of the workshop. This personal Clan Jetty map was then exhibited at the jetty and invited the rest of the community to add-on their own memorable locations onto the map, resulting in a user-generated content map. This mapping project was part of the Bangun Festival, a week long arts festival in Clan Jetty, Pulau Pinang.

A collaboration with VJ artist Callen Tham, a home-made analogue projector was made using wood, found furniture, magnifying lens, PVC pipes and other found materials. The projector; aptly named Analogue Rigby, was a project in reinterpreting the Digital (LCD projector and video mixing software) into an analogue form. The projector is also interactive as it allowed users to create their own moving visuals by drawing or writing on clear plastic strips that could be inserted into the projector, similar to a film reel.

Motion Picture Soundtrack was a quarterly experimental audio-visual gig that involved three bands and one visual artist.  The visual content were created and performed live; using live cameras, miniature sets, overhead projectors and video playback. Each show was designed differently from one another, but the constant concern was to explore other alternatives in creating visuals for music.

Fallen Leaves Theater Project

A community theatre project that involved a group from a recovering HIV and drug addict hospice, written and performed by them. Fallen Leaves began as a drama therapy workshop but natural evolved into a theatre performance. Video projection was weaved into the performance to heighten and highlight the performer’s emotions, as well as to function as a background set. Fallen Leaves was greatly received by the theatre going audience for its honesty and rawness by these non-professional actors. The play was later invited to tour to various places around the country, performed in non-theatre spaces(school halls, prisons, church centers) to a non-theatre-going audience(nurses, school children, prison inmates).
