Check out these highlights.
1. Hyperstudio: Hypercosmo
The focal point of the Pop Air exhibition is Hypercosmo. By reimagining a natural world, the art by the Hyperstudio collective transports us to a new macrocosm where the top and lower sections are in direct communication with man at its center.
The experience is accompanied by noises, projections, and other elements. The ground, sea, and sky all blend together to create the spectacle of the life cycle. As an essential component of the work, the audience is encouraged to get engrossed and soothed by a natural setting.
2. Australian studio ENESS: Spiritus Sonata
Spiritus Sonata is an original piece by ENESS, which is dedicated to producing interactive artworks that appeal to the senses and deepen relationships with the general audience. “Sonata” means “musical composition,” and “spiritus” means “breath” or “crucial breath.”
Spiritus Sonata fills us with awe and love, evoking the enchanted atmosphere of early childhood discoveries. These wind instruments use air to inflate their frameworks, giving them a lovely appearance. This makes it possible for the nasal extensions to produce sounds. Overlapping sound layers create a vibrating continuity that envelops guests.
3. Quiet Ensemble: Soft Hurricane
The installation Soft Hurricane by Quiet Ensemble immerses viewers in a realm of wonder and engagement. The wind propels and captures a group of balloons as they dance in the air, orchestrated by invisible tornadoes in this artwork.
The balloons float separately before joining together in couples to perform synchronized dances. Sometimes, as though driven by enigmatic yet real forces, they reject one another. This piece of art, which consists of spherical balloons floating vertically, was inspired by the element of air. Air from concealed fans positioned beneath each balloon powers them.
i Light Singapore 2025 returns from 29 May to 21 Jun with 17 new installations
