i Light Marina Bay 2017 promises a spectacular showcase of light art installations that will illuminate the Marina Bay waterfront promenade. From 3 to 26 March, visitors can enjoy 20 stunning artworks designed by local and international artists. Beyond the light art installations, this year’s festival will feature a greater variety of community-centric activities that will give the public opportunities to participate directly and contribute to community causes.
Here’s 5 Instagrammable installation that we’ve found on #ilightmarinabay! Make sure you do not miss these installation
Ocean Pavilion
Location: The Promontory
Inspired by the natural forms of the microscopic diatoms and radiolarians found in the rivers and seas around Singapore, the Ocean Pavilion is both a space for contemplation and wonder. Made from 25,000 upcycled Evian bottles with the help of students from 11 schools around Singapore, the artwork promotes reuse and upcycling efforts.
(Ultra) Light Network
Location: The Promontory
(Ultra) light network exposes nature’s basis as networks of energy and information flows and portrays the duality of light as luminous energy and light as immaterial quality. An ultra-light structure floats 2.5m overhead, consisting of 150 organic-shaped 3D printed nodes connected into a volumetric mesh. The presence of activity near the structure triggers dynamic patterns of light that pick up in intensity as more people approach the structure.
Kaleidoscopic Monolith
Location: The Promontory
Kaleidoscopic Monolith incites curiosity from spectators through light, reflection and form. At a distance, it is perceived as a single convex form with a subtly changing profile as visitors approach; on closer inspection its rippling surface contains a pattern of concavities which distort, repeat, and reorient the context while a pattern of light on the surface surrounds the piece in an ambient, glowing pool and illuminates onlookers whose own reflections become part of the spectacle. Evoking a kaleidoscope, the colourful patterns created by the installation resist a singular meaning and instead provoke participants to discover their own allusions through interactive play.
HYBYCOZO
Location: Esplanade waterfront, beside Gluttons’ Bay
HYBYCOZO sits on the intersection of science, technology, geometry, materials, and the artists’ favorite book, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Taking in these far-ranging influences, the artists have borrowed from everything from ancient Islamic tiles to the patterns created by particle physicists when modeling the unified field theory to translate the appearance of beauty within naturally occurring harmonic relationships and patterns in the natural world into sculptural form.
Horizontal Interference
Location: Mist Walk
Horizontal Interference is formed by a colourful cord construction which connects the trees in a simple manner. This architecture of wires, itself already beautiful in the day, turns into a spectacular beauty at nightfall. A simple, yet ingenious illumination merges the natural and constructed elements, creating a poetic and powerful image, moving in the wind.
