Voxpod: Future World exhibition

In this voxpod – a podcast edited from live recordings – Rebecca visits the ArtScience Museum, Singapore, to see the Future World exhibition. She finds that her children always know what’s going on much better than she does – from the exhibition theme to the way the games and experiences work. However, they all have an excellent time in this clever digital playground.

Future World is a permanent exhibition at the ArtScience Museum, created in collaboration with teamLab, an award-winning Tokyo-based art collective of “ultra-technologists” that includes artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, architects and designers. Scroll down to follow the images relating to the podcast audio.
