Art X Social (Festival Village)

Festival-goers can unwind and fuel up while they enjoy public art installations and projections on building façades around the Civic District.

Location: Empress Lawn and St Andrew’s Road

Botanica

Botanica is a surreal canopy of uncanny, macroscopic flowers that grow and dance in slow motion in the sky. The light projection uses found footage and was inspired by real plants and their significance in Southeast Asian art.

There Is A Window In My Eye If You Look In You Will See The Sky

Dawn Ng’s vast aerial sculptures are a meditative response to the theme of the festival, drawing viewers’ attention to the visual language of time through the colour gradients unique to our Singapore sky.

PULSE

PULSE is a motion piece that is exciting yet calm, made up of black and white graphical elements that flow into each other. The work seeks to mesmerise visitors through the pure beauty of the light and sound spectacle. The soundtrack is pitched at 432Hz, a frequency that resonates with the patterns of the universe.
