Art meets Science

For our final day in South East Asia, our friend Ravi suggested we should ditch our original plan of going to Universal Studios and go instead to the ArtScience Museum. We liked the idea and queuing up for rides in the heat was anyway not appealing. So after a nice breakfast of dosas and idlis, we went to the museum to see two ongoing exhibitions - Future World and Mars: The Red Mirror. Both of them were incredibly good. The Future World exhibition was by Teamlab and involved interactive screens merging the digital and real worlds. One of the installations involved us drawing animals on paper using crayons, which we then scanned and they appeared as actual digital animals swimming in an ocean displayed on the wall. The crystal installation was the best reminding us of the tesseract from Interstellar. The Mars exhibition showcased the history and mythology of how Mars has been viewed by humans through the ages. We would highly recommend this. It’s a great way to spend a weekend afternoon.もっと詳しく
