The theme draws on the evolution of technology, creativity and talent beyond the construct of a canvas and the huge impact it has on the art world. The exhibition is centred on skin and walls as medium for expressing creativity using tools and technology.

“We want to open the eyes of our people, our partners and our clients to the collision of technology and creativity,” said Paul Roebuck, chief executive officer of Saatchi & Saatchi Singapore and Malaysia.

“Our aim is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas, the exploration of new technology and techniques that will not only add to the conversation around mix media art, but also help artists discover new avenues to develop their creativity.”

The hallways and huge walls of the Saatchi & Saatchi Singapore office have been cleared to make room for art pieces, including works from Andree Weschler, Jahan Loh, Joseph Siow, Tommy Morris and Lan Ziquan.

The exhibition is curated by Vanini Belarmino, managing director at Belarmino & Partners.

“Through participation, we discover new emotions and feel something that is deeply personal," said Celevel Ranoco-Butler, general manager of Saatchi & Saatchi Singapore. "An idea is not an idea until people participate."
