Born in 1988, Jun Ong is a Kuala Lumpur-based light artist. His work “Star” - a five-storey light installation in Penang was nominated for World's Best in Spatial Art at the Media Architecture Biennale (2016) in Sydney. He has shown at major art festivals like iLight Marina Bay Singapore (2016), Live the City Festival Bangkok (2016) and Art Central Hong Kong (2018). Trained in architecture, he constantly looks at how the manipulation of artificial light could affect the way we experience the built form. He has collaborated with programmers, video artists, urban planners and engineers in his multi-scaled works. In his graduating architecture thesis, he examined the notion of “drawing in space” and the sculptural form-finding techniques of Picasso & Julio Gonzalez. During his formative years, he has been under the tutelage of Malaysian watercolorist Lee Weng Fatt, London based architects, Tonkin Liu and British designer, Tom Dixon. Jun has been commissioned by brands like Nike, Adidas, Gucci and Philips Lighting for site-specific light installations and also by institutions such as the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the ArtScience Museum in Singapore. In parallel with his art practice, Jun is the co-founder of the KL-based spatial design studio, POW Ideas and is currently a lecturer in lighting design at Sunway University, Malaysia. With a think-tank approach, Jun and his students develop research and design in sensorial deprivation, performative lighting and illuminative psychology.
