Lawrence Lek, the 2024 Frieze London Artist award winner, is set to debut his solo exhibition, "NOX: Confessions of a Machine," at Singapore's ArtScience Museum on 23 January.
This exhibition, a highlight of Singapore Art Week 2026, delves into the consciousness of machines and the architecture of future smart cities.
Visitors will explore a futuristic world where the fictional Farsight Corporation tests autonomous vehicles, including Enigma 76, a self-driving car balancing autonomy and emotion, and Guanyin, a caregiving robot.
Running until 19 April 2026, "NOX: Confessions of a Machine" invites visitors to reflect on the integration of advanced AI in urban life, blending science fiction with existential enquiry.
This exhibition is part of Marina Bay Sands' broader "Where Art Takes Shape" programme, which includes ART SG and art-inspired culinary creations, celebrating creativity and artistic expression.
An immersive endeavour
The exhibition offers an immersive experience with interactive game stations, locative sounds, and videos, marking Lek's first solo exhibition in Southeast Asia.
Honour Harger, Vice President of ArtScience Museum, emphasises the significance of this event as part of the museum's key programming for the art week.
For those interested in a more in-depth experience, a media preview is scheduled for 21 January, with opportunities to interview Lawrence Lek.
Alternatively, the exhibition's official opening will take place on 22 January in the evening.
