Congratulations to Dr Anthony Kong on receiving The Excellent Instructor Honour. In addition, our MSc graduates, Angelina Not, Yanxuan Fan, Bohan Yang, Shuyu Chen, and Xinrun Wu, under the supervision of Dr Kong and Joel Kwong, were awarded the bronze prize in the Singapore Art Design Competition 2024 with "True Nod."
"True Nod" explores unconscious agreement in social interactions and its negative impacts. It modernises "The Little Match Girl" story into a Unity-based VR animation to effectively communicate the essence of conformism. The goal is to engage the audience and promote independent thinking among young people using art and technology.
Organised by the Singapore Fine Arts Research Association (SFARA), the competition highlights the importance of integration and fosters interdisciplinary in design. The accomplishments not only recognises the exceptional talents of our students and the dedication of our faulty member, but also brings international recognition to PolyU Design on the global stage.
