Accelerate for the very first drive-through art exhibition in Asia. Say what? The Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre is starting the Year of the Ox with an immersive outdoor experience that brings together art and technology to spotlight the Chinese culture in Singapore as well as the importance of sustainability.
This Lunar New Year, the Centre's car park has been transformed into an immersive experience, a collaboration by The MeshMinds Foundation and eight local artists. In the comfort of a four-wheeler helmed by drivers at the exhibition, you can learn about the ox's cultural significance through the digital masterpieces of eight local artists including Almostasthma, André Wee, Antz, Puffingmuffin, and Mithra which have been transformed into 3D installation art, selfie filters, and augmented reality murals.
Look out for a "talking" red packet by one of the artists, PuffingMuffin. Her whimsical artwork come to life in the form of an ox sculpture clothed in popular Chinese motifs. You can also select a festive Chinese New Year greeting in Mandarin and the five major dialects of Singapore (Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Hakka, and Hainanese).
Tickets are priced at $5 for walk-throughs and $10 for drive-throughs, available for purchase on SISTIC.
