National New Media Art Award

Overview

George Poonkhn Khut is the winner of the 2012 National New Media Art Award. The judges this year found it especially hard to select a winner due to the high standard of entries, but Khut's work, Distillery: Waveforming 2012 was the absolute cream of the crop.

Distillery: Waverforming 2012 impressed the judges with its harmonious blend between art, science and the human body. His interactive creation displays the participant's heartbeat and responds to their reactions. Originally designed to be used as a relaxation method for sick children, the judges recognised its potential for other uses.

To celebrate the outstanding efforts from artists across the country, GOMA is showcasing the short listed works including Khut's piece. Be inspired whilst viewing the country's most impressive creations from budding, young minds.
