The University of Macau (UM) said in a recent statement that a digital ink generative video art installation titled “Icy Fire” has won a gold award at the “Glow Shenzhen 2024” light art festival in Shenzhen, with the work on display at the main venue in Shum Yip Upperhills until February 16.
The statement noted that the award-winning installation, which measures at 7.5 metres by 4 metres by 4.8 metres and has drawn many visitors, was created by Faculty of Arts and Humanities Centre for Arts and Design Director Lampo Leong (梁藍波) and doctoral student Zhao Yanxiu. It consists of a high-definition LED panel and multiple mirrored walls, ceiling and floor.
It features digital ink generative video art and AI techniques to “depict the melting of glaciers through the splashing of ink and the artistic language of geometric abstraction, with a colour gradient shifting from cold to warm”, the statement said, adding that it combines light, sound and immersive settings.
The statement added that the festival comprised 209 artworks from various countries and regions around Shenzhen.
