Best Use of Canvas Mapping Award | TERANG 2026 Projection Mapping Competition

Best Use of Canvas Mapping Award | TERANG 2026 Projection Mapping Competition

Another great year at the TERANG 2026 Projection Mapping Competition, held as part of the George Town Festival by Filamen

Congratulations to our Dasein Digital Media students, Ong Zhi Han & Sim Zi Yi, for winning the Best Use of Canvas Mapping Award with their work, NADI ACUAN!

Their work successfully transformed the Town Hall building into a realistic and immersive 3D visual experience for thousands of audience members.

Guiding lecturer: Wong Si Ying

In Digital Media, we train students not only to learn Motion Graphics, but also to take it beyond the flat screen. Students learn how to apply motion design to projection mapping and immersive media, transforming physical spaces into engaging visual experiences for real-world audiences.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Lecturer Wong Si Ying for her guidance and support throughout the project. Her expertise and mentorship played a vital role in helping the students refine their concept, execution, and presentation to meet professional standards.

Fun fact: Si Ying is also a multiple-award winner of projection mapping competitions, recognised for her skills in motion graphics design. A true legend, like the Penang Char Keow Teow!

The Secondhand Menu by Rebecca Thien Zhi Yi | Interactive Mobile App with Projection Mapping

The Secondhand Menu is an interactive projection mapping project that raises awareness of the impact of secondhand smoke in mamak restaurants and other public dining spaces. The project uses the visual metaphor of a meal contaminated by cigarette smoke, ashes, and cigarette butts to show how smoking near others can indirectly become part of their dining experience.

Nighty Night, Knifey Night by Sim Zi Yi | Interactive Projection Mapping

Nighty Night, Knifey Night is an interactive installation that raises awareness of the emotional and psychological burden experienced by slaughterhouse workers. While meat consumption is part of everyday life, the repetitive act of killing animals can expose workers to emotional exhaustion, psychological stress, and difficult working conditions that are often unseen by consumers.
