Wildly Reimagined

Wildly Reimagined aims to promote ecological awareness and protect the natural habitats of native Singapore wildlife species by showcasing the reimagined animals through AI-generated designs. The project aims to pique the audience’s curiosity and creativity with such designs to foster a deeper understanding of the natural world and promote sustainable action.

AI technology used in Wildly Reimagined generates unique, whimsical, and one-of-a-kind designs that are transformed into comforting and familiar stuffed toys. The project also aims to humanise and demystify AI technology, showing audiences its potential for creative and practical applications beyond conventional computing tasks. This strategy aims to increase the audience’s receptivity to the advantages of AI in other aspects of their lives.

Being Nature

Being Nature explores the intimate connection of nature, mindful observation and needlework. In today’s fast-paced society of Singapore stressful lifestyle, mindfulness helps to combat the automatic pilot mode of individuals by paying attention to what is salient in the present moment.

The project aim is to explore the present moment through mindfulness, which helps to calm the mind & body to improve the overall balance of one’s well-being. Mindfulness in this project is the observation of nature that brings stillness through needlework. In addition, mindfulness is also the attention of the breath that flows in sync with the act of needling. The breath becomes an anchor to the present moment as one focus on the breathing instead of distracting thoughts.
