The bridges are the stars of the festival's bicentennial edition
The popular i Light Marina Bay festival returns this year from 28 January to 24 February, and it's the biggest one yet. In addition to the Marina Bay promenade, the sustainable light art festival is also lighting up the Civic District, the Singapore River area, and Raffles Terrace at Fort Canning Park, the expansion thus reflected in the slightly modified name, "i Light Singapore." Taking place 200 years after Sir Stamford Raffles arrived on our island, this seventh edition of the festival is also a special bicentennial edition.
Visitors can look forward to a total of 33 exciting artworks - 32 light art installations and a huge multimedia show (at the Singapore River) - most of them telling a story of Singapore's history, evolution and future. What also makes this year's i Light Singapore bigger are the newly introduced fun and interactive programs, from yoga under the glow of a light installation to movie screenings.
After previewing several of the light art installations, we think this edition of i Light Singapore is a magical one you should not miss! As you explore the artworks, be sure to check out these beautiful and innovative installations that add a touch of magic to our historic landmarks.
4. TIME FRAME
Where: Under Esplanade Bridge
We’re constantly bombarded with lots of data on the Internet, but how often do we take the time to ponder what those numbers really mean and their impact? This work asks you to stop, look and think. Created by DONIS, a Dutch design team, “TIME FRAME” projects real-world data from www.worldometers.info on the ground under Esplanade Bridge. Some of the most startling information include the number of births and dates in the world and in Singapore, and all the data are presented in real-time, the numbers changing rapidly as the real life events are occurring out there. Just a moment of taking in the information can remind you how fast the world is moving and changing.
