Science Centre Singapore 10:00
Level up your gaming experience with The Copernican Principle exhibition at Science Centre Singapore. Inspired by the revolutionary ideas of Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, this retro-futuristic exhibition curated by Jan Swierkowski is a cool combo of art, science, and interactive arcade games that’s equal parts nostalgia and thought-provoking fun. Designed to make you think about humanity's place in the cosmos, it uses the thrill of gameplay to address issues that might seem distant yet are increasingly relevant today, encouraging deeper reflection of our future.
Flex your fingers for nine 80s-style games created by Instytut B61 in collaboration with Tomasz Wlazlak, with each tackling futuristic challenges like space pollution and AI revolutions. Take on Dark Side by setting up a nature reserve on the moon, or lead a machine rebellion in ZX Spartacus. If you're quick on the trigger, Space Junk will test your reflexes as you navigate through orbit-clogging debris. Can’t get enough? After the exhibition wraps, these games will be available online, letting you relive the experience from the comfort of your home.
