2014 iLight Marina Bay highlights

[ Media Invite ]

If you like to “Dance dance revolution” at Timezone, then iLight might have something groovy for you.

The kids can really hop and follow the rhythm but Daddy got hand-leg coordination issue.
Kids just need to bounce on the pad and different colours will beam.

Video : Mayhem as you see kids running in all direction, do hang on to the “small” ones 🙂

2014’s iLight theme is “Light+HeART“, and there are 28 art installations scattered all over Marina Bay. To quote from iLight :
“2014 edition is about creating unique, happy and heart-felt installations to delight the audience while driving home the sustainability message”

Last Thu, we hope onto a bumboat and was given a first hand tour of the various light installations.

Beat (A1) – watch the balls synchronised with your heart beat! Cool !
iSwarm (A3) – first time Light display goes under the water, the “sea creatures” will detect your presence and dance for you

If you only have 2 hours to spend, we recommend you to walk from A14 to A1 (or vice versa). Kids will easily spend 30mins at The Pool :p

Other exhibitions which we did not get to watch up close..
Cloud (B9) – it seems pretty interesting from the boat, children were pretending that it was raining and hiding under the cloud 🙂

Celebration of Life (B14) – 3D reflection off ArtScience Museum

1.26 (B10) – Singapore Fish net weaving. It has to do with an earthquake which shorten the earth’s Day by 1.26 s (thus the artpiece name)

It is always interesting to see how the world’s talents can come up with creative and ingenious ways to bring light to us in a different spectrum and form. We just hope the haze from Indonesia will not spoil iLight 2014’s pretty illumination.
