HAPPENINGS
SINGAPORE
SPOTLIGHT
Art Comes to Life
As stunning outside as it is inside,
Singapore’s iconic lotus flowershaped
ArtScience Museum has
opened a new permanent exhibition,
‘Future World.’ Visitors can explore
a fully immersive digital universe
where 16 spectacular art installations
are brought to life and evolve in
real-time through visitor presence
and participation. The digital
installations (which include some
created especially for Future World)
take visitors on an exciting journey
through four key narratives: nature,
town, park and space. The exhibition
is a collaboration with teamLab, an
award-winning Tokyo-based art
collective of “ultra-technologists”
that includes artists, programmers,
engineers, CG animators,
mathematicians, architects and
designers. marinabaysands.com
2017: Space Odyssey
Blast off to explore the wonders of space at
‘NASA – A Human Adventure’ at Singapore’s
ArtScience Museum. The exhibition marshalls an
extraordinary collection of over 200 historically
significant artefacts from the United States and
Soviet Union space programmes. Follow the story
of space travel by starting with the early dreamers
who ignited a passion for travel to the stars and
move on to the brilliant pioneers who took the
first brave steps to make trips into space a reality.
Objects on display are a mix of original and spaceflown
objects and high-fidelity replicas and scale
models. Until March 19. marinabaysands.com
