The ground floor atrium of Fahrenheit88 in Kuala Lumpur has been transformed into a luminous world of technicolour light cubes, squares and pixels at the iNYALA exhibition. The month-long show is a spatial experience that features 17 art installations in LED display cubes, which includes one giant cube, a dozen smaller cubes by university students and works by Japan-based digital artist and designer Kaoru Tanaka, local design agency FabU and artist-architect Jun Ong.

These cube installations have live media art mapped onto the digital canvases, creating a vivid field of visual spectacle overlapped with soundtrack curated by award-winning music production company Inner Voices Productions, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in real-life data which reveals the past and present of pressing issues in Malaysia
