Be transported to a new dimension at ArtScience Museum’s latest exhibition, Virtual Realms: Videogames Transformed.
Making its international debut in Singapore on 12 June 2021, the exhibition pairs six of the world's most acclaimed videogame developers with six leading media design studios to create a series of large-scale, immersive installations.
The immersive exhibition introduces visitors to new ways of approaching and enjoying videogames through six key themes – SYNESTHESIA, UNITY, CONNECTION, PLAY, NARRATIVE and EVERYTHING.
Let's step into the realm of the videogame in a series of playful and immersive installations that will take you on a journey through new sonic landscapes and exciting kaleidoscopic worlds now.
PLAY
Dream Shaping, 2021
By Media Molecule (game developer) and Marshmallow Laser Feast (media designer)
The realm of PLAY celebrates the joyful and performative sensibilities that videogames inspire in us, their players.
Dream Shaping has been created in Dreams (2020), Media Molecule’s vast digital toolset that empowers makers to build and share their creations whether games, music, art or animation.
In Dream Shaping, visitors are equipped with tracking helmets that connect them to the virtual world of Dreams, while the oversized soft shapes in the play-space are their props.
Moving through the three acts of PLAY, one will be transported from a multicoloured ball-pit to the creation of the universe and back again.
As visitors are caught between physical and virtual worlds, their imagination and movements turn into an improvised performance. A moment for them to explore, and for onlookers to enjoy.
