This Friday, my buddy and I went to ArtScience Museum after a sumptuous lunch buffet at Equinox restaurant. At ArtScience Museum, we went for two exhibitions namely the Future World Where Art Meets Science and Big Bang Data. On 24 September this year, there be a exhibition of Journey to Infinity Escher's World of Wonder and I can't wait to see it! I really like Escher art works with its optical illusion drawing.
Well back to this Big Bang Data exhibition. Initially I was skeptical. Data sounds boring. Anyway, as I explored the exhibition, I saw the effort put in by the staff to make the visit educational and interactive. Actually whether we like it or not, there is no privacy in using internet. But that can be a good thing as the authority can monitor if anyone is planning to conduct any ill-intention acts.
The Big Bang Data exhibition is on display till 16 October.
Where: ArtScience Museum
Nearest MRT: Bayfront MRT
Last admission: 6pm.
I like this artistic display of visitors input!
