i Light Singapore 2019

To commemorate 200 years since the founding of modern Singapore by Stamford Raffles back in 1819, i Light Singapore – Bicentennial Edition features 33 sustainable light art installations spanning across Marina Bay, the Civic District, Singapore River and Raffles Terrace at Fort Canning Park. This year edition reflects on Singapore’s history and growth over the last 700 years. With that, you can expect it to be bigger and better!

The façade of ArtScience Museum is transformed into a lighthouse for a new age; a gigantic light sculpture of dancing lights.

Travel through time as The Helix bridge comes alive with a beautiful tunnel of moving lights whizzing through space.

This is one of the ‘Instagram worthy’ light installation you should not missed!

The Rainbow Connection

A display of solar light modules that is made from upcycled cookie containers, suspended to form a kaleidoscopic projection on ground.

Shades of Temporality

This is the only time you can ‘paint’ on the public wall! Using electronic paint rollers and custom software, visitors are able to virtually “paint” videos, in real time, onto walls, creating endless combinations of moving murals in the process.

Squiggle

As the name suggest, the sea of twists and turns is an abstract reflection of this very multicultural world we live in.

Where do Stories End

Reflections on Singapore’s history.

Bridges of Time

Bridges of Time tells a poetic story of a universal traveller who sails through time and space to reach a mythical island in the East. Using light, sound, projection and water, this immersive multimedia show creates a wondrous and breathtaking ancient landscape that glows magically on the historic Singapore River, against the contemporary city skyline. In fact, this is on of my favourite installation for this year edition.
