I Light Marina Bay 2014

I LIGHT MARINA BAY 2014, Asia's only sustainable light art festival, themed Light+heART was held at Marina Bay Waterfront from 7th to 30th March 2014.   There were 28 innovative and environmentally sustainable light art installations from around the world.   The artists incorporated the use of recyclable materials and adopted energy-efficient lighting to create their stunning light art installations in order to promote an environmentally-responsible behavior for a sustainable future. 

LIGHMARINBA  conducted the "Switch Off, Turn Up" Campaign where stakeholders in and around Marina Bay were invited to switch off non-essential lighting and turn up air conditioning temperatures during the festival period.

We went to Marina Bay Waterfront over 2 weekends to cover as much light art installations as we could. We covered Route A on 22 March and Route B on 29 March.

The light art installations that we covered 

The Wishing! Tree from Singapore.   

Visitors were given stripe of plastic with tiny bulbs on the 2 ends.   Visitors could write wishes on the plastic stripe and hang it on The Wishing Tree.   The amount of wishing plastic stripe to be issued on 22 March were fully issued when were there.    The staff was very sweet to give the wishing plastic stripe to my 2 boys on exception.
