1. ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
i Light Singapore
i Light Marina Bay, Asia’s leading sustainable light art festival, was
first held in 2010 to inject vibrancy to the area and reinforce Marina
Bay’s position as a sustainable precinct. The festival is presented by
the Urban Redevelopment Authority and features light art installations
around the Marina Bay waterfront by local and international artists.
The festival is powered through energy savings from the ‘Switch Off,
Turn Up’ campaign, where participating stakeholders and building
owners around the Bay and beyond are encouraged to switch off
non-essential lighting and turn up air-conditioning temperatures
during the festival period. Beyond the showcase of visual art and
urban space, the festival also offers a dynamic line-up of events and
programmes, including performances, dining options, workshops and
family-friendly activities.
Each year, we invite artists to explore various forms of Sustainability
and Sustainable Living – of environment, economy and culture – and
examine how light art can create conversations about our lifestyles,
decision-making and the community.
In 2019, “i Light Marina Bay” will be rebranded as “i Light Singapore”
to reflect geographical expansions into the Civic District and
Singapore River. At the same time, the festival will kick off end-
January, in conjunction with the launch of the Singapore Bicentennial
(SB) commemoration.
Festival Dates:
28 January – 24 February, 2019

The Theme
Bridges of Time
i Light Singapore − Bicentennial Edition (Background)
Strategically located at the Southern tip of the Malay Peninsula,
Singapore is at the heart of the global trade route defined by the
Maritime Silk Road bridging opportunity, people and culture. With
time, the confluence of the region and the globe drove Singapore to
be vulnerable but adaptive, diverse yet versatile. The essence of
connection is no longer limited to its geographical borders but
transformed and repositioned Singapore into a bustling logistics,
financial and business-centric emporium.
Curatorial Theme
In commemoration of the Singapore Bicentennial, the theme of this
special edition of i Light Singapore, Bridges of Time, looks beyond
the contacts in history to delve deeper into the topic of connectivity.
The theme questions two forms of connectivity; the tangible - bridge -
and the intangible - time, and their interactions. For instance, today’s
Singapore can be seen as a result of tangible confluences transiting
through time, whereas light can be interpreted as a visual form of
intangible interactions.
Keywords
Past / Future / Transition / Experience / Reflection / Convergence /
Openness / Multi-culturalism / Self-determination
Proposers are encouraged to present an artistic interpretation of the
theme rather than a literal translation.
