Synopsis

homecoming is inspired by SIGNIFY (Singapore in Global Natural History Museums Information Facility), an ongoing initiative of the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum (LKCNHM) at the National University of Singapore. SIGNIFY aims to digitise and document approximately 10,000 historically-important specimens collected from Singapore over the last 200 years that are currently housed in museums worldwide. This information is in turn necessary to better understand Singapore’s natural heritage as well as its historical biodiversity.

homecoming then aims to showcase the “return” of these specimens that were collected over the past two centuries through a digital juxtaposition of screens upon the place where they were collected, their “collection localities”. Through research into the historical biodiversity of Singapore, we aim to better understand the localities from which a selected set of specimens were collected from (including as much as possible the exact place, date and time of collection).
