Once Upon a Time on The Orient Express
Taking a short walk in history... onboard the original Orient Express train carriage.
Jurong Lake Gardens Festival of Lights
Organised as part of the President's Challenge, “A Better Tomorrow” Festival of Lights bring to light the unity, determination and resilience of Singaporeans. (Source: NParks)
The displays are located in two areas of Jurong Lake Gardens, "It's a Small World" is near the North carpark and "Lucky Zodiac" is near the South carpark. At the North carpark, the traffic control officers were there, so were the safe distancing ambassadors. Thankfully, there's plenty of HDB carparks on the opposite side of the road. In contrast, there wasn't any restrictions at the South carpark.
Since it's the Christmas season now, it wouldn't be complete without some Christmas theme light-up, isn't it.

Disney: Magic of Animation
This exhibition takes us through time, from the classic Mickey Mouse to the recent movies, showing how animation drawings were done in the past and how technology has evolved to what it is today.

Throughout the exhibition, there are write-ups of milestone animations to depict the changes in production methods.

HUMAN+
The HUMAN+ The Future of Our Species exhibition is held at the ArtScience Museum. I was expecting a more scientific kind of exhibition, but there are a number of artworks showing what it could be like for the future of mankind.
Chapter 1: Augmented Ability
The exhibition starts with the showcase of prosthetics, which is something that is familiar to us and we see them very often in our everyday lives, even if we are not a user of one.
In the next room, artworks of overlaid photos were put up on the wall and they give me a headache when I looked at them. Then, there's also a series of scary photos (behind the orange panels) showing Stelarc' surgery, where a "ear" is constructed onto his forearm. Next, we move into a dark room and videos of Stelarc's works with robotics are screened on the walls. In fact, right at the entrance to this exhibition, there is another video showing him strapped to a robot arm. There's also a video about the Harlequin’s Coat that consist living cells taken from different species. These are not quite the kind of artwork I know how to appreciate even though they are very much technology-based.
The sculptures of the Sonochromatic Head and Seismic Arm bring us back to a more real application of technology. Neil Harbisson is recognised as the world's first cyborg because of the implanted antenna in his skull that helps him "see" colours.
Chapter 2: Encountering Others
Those rows of eyeballs on the right (in the picture) are designed to follow the visitors who walk pass. And in the background, you can tickle the "feet" or squeeze the "hand" to get a "response" from the guy in the screen.
Would any parent like to have this robot arm rock their baby in this crib?
Human Version - photographic works of Yves Gellie
Chapter 3: Authoring Environment
The Human Pollination Project - An artist's solution to the decreasing honeybee population.
Pick up the phone and it will read to you the story of the specimen, otherwise, you can read the card yourself.
The genetic design of the fictional Beamer Bees.
Chapter 4: Life At The Edges
Sculptures of babies, each with a modification to deal with potential future problem, such as global warming.
Semi-Loving Worry Dolls - an art in tissue culture.
The magnified photos of the worry dolls.
Nadine the female humanoid social robot. I watched some visitors speaking with her through the mic and I think it's more fun talking to Siri.
Soon, a second humanoid social robot named Charlie will be created.
