Anyone walking past the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Chulalongkorn University might have been struck by not only the fascinating sculpture of a female student playing a treble fiddle in an octagon pavilion, but also the beautiful music that accompanies the sculpture itself.
“Heavenly Music” is the name of this sculpture, which was unveiled by the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts on September 22, in an event presided over by Prof. Dr. Bussakorn Binson, Dean of the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts.
Prof. Dr. Bussakorn Binson, explained that the sculpture was created with the intention to showcase the identity of the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts. The highlight is that when anyone walks past, a motion detector will be activated to the tune of “Maha Chulalongkorn” on treble fiddle. The pavilion is illuminated at night, brightening the area in front of the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts. In addition, the Faculty has incorporated AR technology into the sculpture, which allows people to scan the pavilion using the Artivive application to reveal a heavenly pavilion.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pornprapit Phoasavadi, Associate Dean for International Affairs, Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, pointed out that the sculpture of a female student playing a treble fiddle aims to represent the new generation of the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts. This coincides with the philosophy of the Faculty to nurture existing legacy while moving forward, acting as a bridge between generations.
“Heavenly Music” was designed by Wirad Songcroh, a lecturer at the Department of Music, Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Chulalongkorn University, in collaboration with Orawee Bumphenpetch and Dr. Vorapoj Songcharoen, alumni of the Faculty. The music being played is the Thai instrument version of Maha Chulalongkorn, the university’s anthem bestowed upon the university by the late H.M. King Bhumibol. The AR technology in the sculpture also allows alumni both in Thailand and overseas to view it as if they were physically there.
“This sculpture combines art and AR technology, keeping visuals, sounds, and stories alive and accessible to everyone. The sculpture is now made into a landmark both in front of the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts and in the virtual world,” said Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pornprapit.
