The Singapore Night Festival 2024 is set to captivate attendees with its theme of “play,” and this year’s standout feature, Pixel Paradise, is sure to deliver. Running from August 23 to September 7 along Armenian Street, this event combines playful art with gamified experiences inspired by the Peranakan Museum’s beaded artifacts and nostalgic pixel video games. Here’s what you can look forward to:
Between Threads: An Interactive Art Installation
One of the highlights of Pixel Paradise is the Between Threads interactive art installation. This exhibit draws inspiration from an unfinished beaded panel at the Peranakan Museum. A vibrant projection designed by five artists will illuminate the museum’s facade, offering a stunning visual experience and perfect photo opportunities. This installation celebrates the artistry and cultural significance of the Peranakan community.
Passport to Paradise: Gaming Adventure
For gaming enthusiasts, the Passport to Paradise experience is a must-visit. Here, you can be among the first to try out ASTRO BOT, an exhilarating space adventure game developed by PlayStation. Mark your calendars for August 30 to 31 and September 6 to 7 for a chance to win a PlayStation 5. This immersive gaming event promises excitement and a bit of luck.
Pixel Boulevard: Interactive Challenges and Live Music
