Science fiction and fantasy are two of the main themes for the Singapore Night Festival, which promises to bring vivid dreams to life with art installations, light shows, and much more.
Both Singaporean and international artists alike are slated to show their masterpieces at the event, which will also include workshops aimed at teaching visitors about the art and technology that partner to make such displays. An art market will also be on hand, giving other artists a chance to sell their wares. The Night Festival will illuminate Singapore’s arts district once again this year, bringing a whole new world to normally dark building fronts and streets.
Some of last year’s most popular installations will return again. A light projection on the Singapore Art Museum will showcase scenes from a writer from the science fiction genre. On the building facade for the National Museum of Singapore, LED stick figures will put on a show, stacking and climbing endlessly to the amusement of viewers. The stacks of figurines seem to be climbing or working together for a common purpose — one that might need to be deciphered by the viewer. Another lighted sculpture will commemorate a beloved tree that was felled in front of a church in the district, replacing bark with lighted shapes and foliage with deep blue tear drops that look like decorative baubles. Students at the National Design Centre have come up with a deep-thinking installation of lighted 3-D polygons, each of the sides a different colored panel. They said that the project represents to them the moment of a good idea, much like the often-used symbol of the lightbulb going off above someone’s head.
The market at the Singapore Night Festival will also include delicious food treats and drinks for those hungry and thirsty art fans. To further incorporate performances, popular bands will be on hand to add music to the show. Visitors will be sure to be delighted by all the senses during the popular festival. A number of exhibits are interactive, meaning that visitors will get to make their own mark on the celebrations by participating in activities like beating on light-up drums.
