It's been nearly a decade since the ArtScience Museum introduced Future World: Where Art Meets Science, co-curated with international art collective teamLab, best known for their immersive and interactive experiences. This year, the exhibition will undergo an exciting refresh as part of the museum’s new season, Mind and Body: The Art and Science of Being Human, which explores the intricate connection between mind and body.
The refreshed exhibition will introduce two new installations from teamLab's Dissipative Figures series, which delve into the concept of interconnectedness among all living beings. One standout piece, Dissipative Figures – Human, Light in Dark, illustrates the energy flow between the human body and its environment. This luminous display portrays energy radiating from a human figure as glowing trails. In its ArtScience Museum debut, the figure is depicted suspended mid-air, invoking a sense of spirituality and transcendence.
The museum’s 2025 season, Mind and Body: The Art and Science of Being Human, will also unveil two brand-new exhibitions: Mirror Mirror: Journey Into the Mind and Asia’s first-ever Iris van Herpen showcase, Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses.
Mirror Mirror invites visitors to explore eight interactive multimedia rooms, each uncovering different aspects of the human mind, such as memory, perception, and ego. Meanwhile, the Iris van Herpen exhibition titled Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses is based on an original show by Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. This showcase at the ArtScience Museum marks the Dutch designer’s Asia debut, with works well-known for fusing traditional haute couture techniques with cutting-edge digital tools like 3D printing and laser cutting. Visitors can look forward to witnessing over 90 designs alongside natural history specimens and contemporary artworks. This groundbreaking showcase reimagines the human body as a site of continuous transformation and evolution.
