Nada Kiyoshi Tangwongcharoen from multi-disciplinary collective Modular Aesthetics fills us in on their first exhibition, which puts an experimental twist to the new media.

What’s Modular Aesthetics?
It stemmed from the notion that all great things usually consist of smaller important components, which we call modular. This idea applies to how we work as a group. We focus on an individual’s strength but, at the same time, we all chip in and help each other to create something amazing. Our artworks are inspired by the seemingly insignificant primary forms found in inanimate objects as well as living creatures.

Who are you guys?
There are six of us and we each specialize in interactive art, new media visual art, sound and visual, photography, fashion and product sculpture.

Can you tell us about this exhibition?
Since our group has members from so many different backgrounds, we want to combine their skills and see what we can achieve in this exhibition. Each one of us is assigned what we call an assistant artist, and that’s where sharing and contributing comes into play.

What can we expect to see at the exhibition?
Since it’s all experimental, I can’t really say what you’re going to see, which I think makes it even more appealing. Although the artists are different, our artworks are subtly connected. That’s the essence of this exhibition.

What’s your contribution?
I come from a field of visual art, so my piece will be a fusion of modular and primary forms which together create optical illusion art. Most of my creations will be projected on the wall.

What’s next for Modular Aesthetics?
We all agreed that we will put out 2-3 exhibitions every year to show the group’s progress. Our ultimate goal is to make new media become synonymous with the name Modular Aesthetics.
