Karma Coming Up

New York University Tisch School of the Arts Asia presents "Karma", the inaugural exhibition by the graduate students from the Department of Animation and Digital Arts.

Karma is the concept of “action” and “deed” in ancient Indian religions. It is believed that the effects of all deeds are actively shaping past, present, and future experiences. The seven students, each from a different countries, believe strongly that their creative experiences at Tisch School of the Arts Asia is a consequence of their karma.   

Despite putting in additional hours on top of her busy school work, Ilmo Chung, curator of this exhibition said, “I am very happy to be a pioneer of the Animation and Digital Arts program at New York University Tisch School of the Arts Asia, honored to be the curator of our first exhibition, destined to be here in Singapore with wonderful classmates from all around the world!”   

 “Karma is a two day group show highlighting the work of our students. They will share stories with Singaporeans and engage visitors on many levels using digital technologies,” said Jean-Marc Gauthier, director of the Department of Animation and Digital Arts.

The exhibition features an array of animation and digital arts projects in the form of traditional 2D animation, hand drawn animations, state-of-the-art motion capture, 3D animations using leading industry software like Flash, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Maya, and Motion Builder.
