Designing the Experience for the first ever Music, Art and Technology Festival in Singapore

IMI Festival brings together technology, music and creativity into one sprawling urban space at the old Kallang airport. Think: a homegrown version of the Sonar Festival to explore what it means to be human.

Curation of the interactive art exhibition to bring festival goers on an innovation journey and experience first-hand interactive art installations, sensorial tech showcases, Tilt Brush 3D painting, sound meditation and much more over 3 space: 

• 11 local artists, 

• 10 local students

• 1 international neuro artist, 

• 1 partnership with NYP's School of Interactive & Digital Media (SIDM) 

Co-curation of the speaker series with Helena Wasserman.
4,000-festival goers walked through the IMI festival doors.

The Story

This face mapping interactive art installation aims to bring the public on a journey to visualise and face your future self... as a robot! Inspired by some leading exhibitions such as the ArtScience Human+ exhibition, we believe interactive art is a transforming path we can tread to push our own human boundaries. One day Jim Carrey said "There is nothing bigger than yourself".

What he meant was that our soul is not contained within the limits of our body. Our body is contained within the limitlessness of our soul.” And this is why we have chosen very very big robot faces, as a symbol of our expanding conscious self into the future. I conceptualised the installation and sculpted the heads.

The installation would not have been possible without the technologist Jacques Deschambeault Jr (NYP) who magically created all the face mapping and the mentoring from Dean Reinhard (MeshMind). 
I was invited by IMI Festival 2017,a festival that steers away from typical tech/startup conference focussing on industry people. This new one-of-a-kind tech/art/music /talks experience, at the iconic Old Kallang Airport, aims to provide an immersive and participative experience to its community to explore what it means to be human in our era of technology.
