Check out some highlights from the show:

(The Anatomy of Wonder, Lim Qi Xuan)

 

Lim Qi Xuan's uncanny and intricate mixed media installation, The Anatomy of Wonder, composed of hand-made animal foetuses and info graphic posters. It comments on genetic engineering and the relationship between humans and the natural world. Amongst her many accomplishments, Lim has exhibited under Noise Singapore and done illustrations for NYLON SG.

Check out Phyllicia Wang's spectral photographic manipulations which teeter on the brink of three-dimensionality and flatness, real space, and imagined space.

Another amazing visual communications work is Gillian Toh's Freakitsch Flock: An Illustrative Transmutation, in which macabre images of female bodies are rendered with an aggressively girlish, candy-coated aesthetic. The result? A work of subversive femininity that simultaneously attracts and repels.

Joel Ling's Instructions for Initial Conditions creates a drawing machine that interrogates the idea of restricted input and creativity, where a fixed set of rules (punched through a computer) can create incalculable results.

Bliss Ng's John Doe is a game where you control the main character, an amnesiac as attempts to regain his memory through exploration and solving puzzles.
