RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Project Name: Re-Store / Neural Artefact Black Duration of Project: 4 months Start & End Date: Mar 2023 – Jul 2023 Project Collaborators: ASD, Civic District Alliance Designed by Assistant Professor Immanuel Koh, this bench was made by hand, piecing 6,000 triangles from old sampan boats. In all, it took 3,000 hours to complete. On the side, facing the river, it bore a ‘charred’ design, while the other side, facing the Asian Civilisations Museum, remained untouched. The stark contrast encouraged reflections on duality and how our perspectives may differ based on our individual view of the world. This bench is one of the art installations featured in the Civic District area as part of the Benchmarks art trail. The Benchmarks art trail aims to invite passers-by to pause, reflect, and appreciate the district’s historical significance, both past and present, while also contributing to the district’s future narratives. The work has just been accepted and exhibited for CVPR AI Art track which is a top-tier artificial intelligence (AI) conference — IEEE CVPR 2024 (Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition). It represents a snapshot of creative AI practice in the years 2023 to 2024. p. 41 ANNUAL REPORT 2023/24
