one on of the days of our recess week, we headed down to the art science museum for the NASA and Future World exhibitions. it was a really fun day.

NASA

my dad is a huge NASA fan so i sometimes get excited too about space and universe due to his influence. so this was the exhibition that i was really excited for.

the exhibition was really insightful, albeit a little underwhelming (i had high hopes for it) maybe because there were too many information about the little details that i wassssnt interested in (or maybe because im not that much of a fan yet to appreciate). was looking forward to the “OH WOW” big scale models (there were, but only a few but naaaaah, they didnt catch my attention). but nonetheless, i was really happy to go for the exhibition because ive been meaning to go (plus it was sponsored by the school! who doesnt love free entry to exhibitions hehe)

FUTURE WORLD

the exhibition was really fun because most of the installations had a lot of interactions between human and technology. the installations were colourful as well so i guess that element of colour also added to the fun experience. (colours are fun!)

i forgot the name of this installation but this was my favourite. i enjoyed watching the kids have fun with the balls, and how innocent they felt at that moment of time.

i think its a smart idea to compliment an element of fun to an installation to make it engaging, especially if its for the general public, kids will definitely love it. colours is a great way to incoporate that element. i think what made this installation even more fun was the play on sound. the colours change to the beat of the music. the music choice was also a good choice because it was somewhat “cute”, and that made it light-hearted, which catches the attention of people.

 

this was a really cute idea of designing your own sea animal!! i really enjoyed the thought behind this.

the next exhibition was my favourite.

we had a device to navigate ourselves around the museum to at end where we watch a animated video. it was really fun because it was like a digital VR treasure hunt. it catches everyone’s attention because… its digital. but i guess its con is that it gets us too focused on the screen that we dont pay attention to our surroundings (major 21st century social issue). but hey, we cant do everything to please everyone.

after everything, we headed down to the Jendela Visual Arts Space at Esplanade for the genius of the crowd exhibition.

 

and that was it for the day!

it was a great one.
