\\ The Singapore River as a Psychogeographical Faultline



The Singapore River is a site of historical and commercial significance for Singapore, as well as a site to socialise at, and dream of things to come. But what does the Singapore River look like? When prompted to reflect on the river, many find it hard to recall the geography of Singapore's most significant river – which has changed drastically in purpose, form, and colour over the last hundred years.

Originally developed with the support of the The Substation’s Open Call in 2010, \\ is an interactive map installation exploring the Singapore River as a “psychogeographical faultline” where reality, memories and imagined spaces interact, merge, or drift apart - like a series of tectonic plates.




I will be adapting the installation in the reactable to a wall installation using the kinect as the sensor. Visitors will be able to play with the shape of the singapore river by waving their arms and walking in front of a projection of the shape of the Singapore River.
