Ong Kian Peng is an artist based in Singapore. Working at the intersection of art, technology, and the environment, he creates immersive and reflective environments that offer alternate visions and imaginations of our relationship with nature. Since 2017, he has been running Supernormal.space, an independent art space focusing on emerging and experimental art practice. Ong graduated from UCLA with an MFA in Design Media Art. He is currently a PhD Student in the Art, Design and Media Program at the Nanyang Technological University Singapore.
The Viscous Sea is a six-channel film installation that explores the Dead Sea as a site of ecological disaster. The notion of dying plays a central role in the work. What does it mean for elemental water bodies to die? Can the Dead sea die again? Who are the actors involved in the events leading up to its decline? And what future awaits the Dead Sea?
Walking up Pearl's hill, the artist encountered a Tembusu tree. From a bottom-up perspective, the tree is represented as point clouds, painting it with pixels and offering a glimpse into the tree's interior while travelling upwards.
"Fragmented Dreams" is an immersive virtual experience that explores the delicate lines between reality/imagination, beauty/danger, and peace/disruption. It is an abstraction of the impending climate crises that might happen within the century. It asks only a moment of silence and reflection as you tread between these lines.
Acoustic Territories is a series of images and sculptures generated from a study of sonic environments.
Rainscapes Imagined is a 16 channel sound installation. The project is an interpretation of the sound of rain, without the rain. Unlike most sound works, the speakers used are invisible. Surface transducers are attached beneath the platform, transforming it into a large sound panel that sends vibrations through the participant’s body.
Climate change has been a persistent global issue, yet the reality of climate change is disconnected from the urban reality that the world’s majority lives in. Enclosed in concrete and steel structures, the threat of a potential sea level rise remains alien to those within, despite compelling evidence of the phenomenon.
