Escape Velocity V
‘Escape Velocity V’ is an immersive sound installation presented by Singapore Art Museum at National Gallery Singapore by artist Zai Tang that evokes places in Singapore where wildlife is threatened by hyper-development. Based on his field recordings, Tang has produced a sonic composition set to the accelerated tempo of the city, where previously recognisable voices morph into abstract presences and ghostly spectres.

The artworks will serve as a catalyst for a series of performative workshops looking at the everyday.

With Wang Ruobing, Curator.
