MESSAGE FROM ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
For the past 3 decades, my parents would occasionally ask when am
I going to find a proper job.
Don’t get me wrong; they are supportive of what I’m doing now…
it’s just not their ‘norm’.
On personal terms, they accepted.
Growing up, I witnessed the drill of “safety in numbers” amongst
peers to fit into the working system because life would be simpler
than if you attempted to change it.
On societal terms, they accepted.
Today, with our vision of becoming a smart nation, we are witnessing
a growth for machine learning algorithm and processing data in new
and exciting ways.
In our pursuit of a friendly human-machine system as agency, could
we also stretch our biometric to become a more diversified society?
Hence, can we embrace that odd dot, number or code, instead of
sieving the outlier unconnected points of a parabola?
On future terms, we await…
Through the employment of movement, light and sound, I
am pleased to present Subtle Downtempo No, a collaborative
examination into the abstraction of space – an unusual perspective
of being part of a system, by Murasaki Penguine (Japan/Australia)
and RAW Moves (Singapore).
To look outward, we have to first look inward…
