There are many interesting and creative exhibits at SingaPlural 2017 and here are the highlights of some of the interesting exhibits that we have seen on the day of the launch.

The Waiting Room

Visit The Waiting Room to have your life problems answered, pick the cards which will provide some quick but playful answers to the problems you faced. Expect some humour and you can get to keep the cards too.

Drawn From Our Own Device

“Drawn from Our Own Device” is a collaboration by Bynd Artisan with Modular Unit and & Larry. It is interesting to see how you can work with a robot to design your own book cover, simply draw on the screen and the machine will come up with its own rendition.

Supu Playset

This playset is made entirely from Paulownia wood which is soft and lightweight suitable for children and even adults enjoy playing with it.

The Sweet Melting of Time

The Sweet Melting of Time is a visually sensational experience and an interactive installation that creates a new way of seeing happiness!
