Digital Art Week Asia presents: 99 years

Synopsis

99 years is presented by independent arts platform Digital Art Week Asia (DAWA) and will be held in the historically significant Air Raid Shelter in the Tiong Bahru neighbourhood of Singapore. This new media arts exhibition examines the reflective and contemplative theme of the temporal nature of life through the various artistic practices presented. The exhibition's title has a double meaning; in some countries, the longest practical term of a leasehold property is 99-years without it being considered perpetual. In contrast, the number 9 is considered auspicious in some cultures and has the same sound for the word long-lasting or eternity - an interesting juxtaposition when contextualised in this exhibition.
