i Light Singapore 2022 will be a stunning violet themed sight at Marina Bay with a floating pontoon experience, mystical forest light beams, holographic projections and jellyfish from space!

After a two-year hiatus, i Light Singapore 2022 returns to Marina Bay from 3 – 26 June for its eighth edition with the theme Spark of Light. Like its previous editions, you can expect plenty of creative artwork, exciting programmes and dazzling light displays. The festival’s 2022 theme revolves around the environment and aims to raise awareness about sustainability while inspiring eco-friendly habits.

Violet colours at i Light Singapore 2022

What’s new about i Light Singapore 2022 is that it will be centred on one colour from the visible light spectrum – an element that’s set to be a part of each edition moving forward. The colour of choice for 2022 is violet, which has the shortest wavelength with the most powerful electromagnetic energy in the visible light spectrum. Violet is also believed to signify the awakening of the senses, which is entirely in line with the festival’s aim to make people aware of their eco-footprint on the planet.

i Light Singapore 2022 Highlights

1. Alone Together by Ping Lim and Ian Grossberg

This thought-provoking art piece by Singaporean artist Ping Lim and her American collaborator Ian Grossberg is an interactive projection that chronicles a collective experience of isolation during the pandemic. Inspired by scenes from Singapore’s housing estates, each vignette showcases private moments that tell the story of people’s lives while they were confined at home. The piece offers real-time interaction and you can join in with your mobile phone.

2. Fallen by Nerdist x ARTINA

Sustainability and space come together in Fallen by South Korean artist group Nerdist x ARTINA. The recycled transparent dome and bubble wrap artwork tells the story of a jellyfish from space that’s crashed on Earth after consuming the trash that humans have tossed out into space (since we’ve run out of space in our landfills). The theme revolves around excess waste due to consumerism, and the takeaway for visitors is a reminder of how our lifestyles impact the environment.

3. Holographic projections at i Light Singapore 2022

At Marina Bay’s lower boardwalk, treat your senses at Lightwave: Isle of Light, empowered by OPPO. You’ll walk through a specially constructed floating pontoon and explore five unique zones, each with immersive features – marvel at enchanting holographic projects, motion-capture graphics and shadows; admire light beams that resemble a mystical forest and treat yourself to a unique light art showcase. While i Light Singapore 2022 is free, entrance to Lightwave: Isle of Light will be ticketed separately, and you can purchase tix from Klook.

Apart from the artworks and light displays, i Light Singapore 2022 will also feature a range of complementary activities and programmes.
