Singapore airport adds interactive art displays in terminal

A traveler’s vacation to Singapore might be arriving at an end once they wheel their bags into the nation’s Changi Airport, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t still opportunities to make lasting memories and create meaningful mementos of their time in the country. The airport has recently unveiled new interactive art displays in its terminal, making sure that travelers have one last chance to make memories before getting on their flights.

The theme of the new exhibits is to make Singapore yours — mainly, to tailor the experiences the country has to offer to meet the expectations and tastes of all the millions of travelers who visit. There are many different sides to Singapore, depending on what a tourist wants to embrace, from arts and culture to shopping and technology to sightseeing and luxury experiences to food and gardens. Singapore can be many different things to many different people, and it’s this idea that the art installations look to explore.

A portrait wall transforms visitors’ faces into dot portraits that can be then superimposed on the backgrounds of several different memorable Singaporean landmarks. Participants can then snap a photo of the resulting tableau for a fun and artsy keepsake they can post on their social media accounts, lauding their fun time in Singapore. One of the backgrounds they can choose is actually another famous and popular art display inside of Changi Airport — the moving sculpture of golden teardrops that can transform to more than a dozen different computer-programmed shapes. Other recognizable landmarks, including buildings, parks, and gardens, can be picked for the background. The end result may also be emailed via the terminal located at the portrait station.

Another facet of this interactive art display is a large screen that captures passers-by on camera. If a person stops to look at themselves in the screen, they have the opportunity to interact with animations that also appear on the screen, seeing themselves in live time on the display doing entertaining things in different settings. The display is a perfect marriage of art and technology, ensuring that travelers will be talking about the exhibit for weeks to come after they leave Singapore.

Yet another photo opportunity in the airport is a 3-D display of a trishaw, a form of transportation that visitors can actually climb into for a great picture to preserve. Other iconic sites in Singapore can be found in additional 3-D cardboard art pieces throughout the airport terminal.

Celebrating the cultural sights and experiences a country has to offer through art is a great way to either commemorate traveling or celebrate your home.
