Abstract
For 9 days in October 2015, the FutureEverything festival took over the popular imagination, public space across the city, daytime TV, and the political debate in Singapore. The festival enjoyed public, media and critical acclaim across Asia Pacific for its innovation lab challenge, talking lamp posts and public sleep lab in Singapore’s first festival of art and technology.
Highlights
– An unprecedented public and open debate on the future of
Singapore and the national vision of a Smart Nation.
– Connecting art and tech in this way for the first time in Singapore.
– Phenomenal public reaction to cutting edge art and design installations,
giving Singaporeans new opportunities to play in public places.
– Senior government ministers and policy makers champion
a vision of an inclusive and participatory Smart Nation.
– Designers, artists and urbanists create new arts-meets-technology
innovations to benefit the whole of Singapore.
– More than 220,000 individuals participated in events and projects.
The FutureEverything Singapore festival was a partnership between FutureEverything and the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), and was the flagship digital culture component of SG50, the year long celebrations that mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of Singapore. FutureEverything Singapore was the only British contribution to SG50, and was announced by David Cameron in three major policy speeches during his 2015 trade mission to Asia.
