For many of us, data is a nebulous concept, something that you can’t really put a finger on.
The exhibition Big Bang Data, which arrives at ArtScience Museum next month for its Asian premiere after touring three continents, hopes to change that as it translates the concept of data into something visual, sometimes tactile, through interactive installations, historical artefacts and contemporary data-driven artworks.
First shown at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona, Big Bang Data has been called both “dazzling” and “alarming”. The Singapore edition will be organized into nine chapters and show a selection of artworks from the original Barcelona exhibit, as well as new pieces from the exhibit in London. There will also be a new section to tell the story of Singapore’s unique relationship with data as we aim to become the world’s first Smart Nation.
Big Bang Data will run from May 21 to Oct 16. Tickets will be available soon at all Marina Bay Sands box offices and website.
