Proposal on Digital Art for Schools

"Digital Diversity 2 - Life...Energy" - A Digital Art Exhibition by DASE

To explore life and energy that reflects not only the human existence of each individual but also an attempt to capture elements like love, care, relationship, trust as well as power through the dynamic works of Digital Art by our seven artists.

All Artworks on exhibit are created by DASE artists from The Society for the Physically Disabled.

Lim Suat Hua, Shirnar Hypertension Stroke

For Shirnar, hypertension stroke has not restricted her passion for Digital Art as a means to unleash her creativity. In the process of working with colors, shapes, light, shadows, Shirnar crafts her work by means of heightening her senses and vice-versa. Shirnar hopes that her art could become a platform through which her viewer's imaginations are led to fathom unlimited depths of discovery.

Salimah Bte Ishak Tetraplegia

Salimah’s creations are closely inspired by her passion for life and her immediate environment – being Tetraplegic has certainly not diminished her sensitivity towards things around her, as her digital art would testify.

Tiew Ee Chih, Benson Spinal Cord Injury

A traffic accident four years ago paralysed Benson waist down and almost stopped him in his tracks. Benson displayed courage with his condition and joined SPD’s Multimedia Centre, picking up computing skills in the creation of Digital Art and renewing his understanding of life in the meantime.

Ang Cheng Shin, Kelvin Spinal Muscular Dystrophy

Spinal muscular dystrophy changed Kelvin’s life when he was only 11. Walking and even swallowing became difficult for him and he had to be wheelchair-bound. Kelvin’s affliction has not deterred his imagination and creativity, as he is now working as a web designer and digital artist at SPD’s Multimedia Centre.

Yeo Jie Wee Muscular Dystrophy

Diagnosed with muscular dystrophy when he was 12 years old, Jie Wee went to a special school and in 2004, joined the SPD. At SPD’s Multimedia Centre, Jie Wee was able to pick up many basic computer skills through the training provided and he is currently working as a web designer and digital artist.
