“Radio polars” are a magnetic white dwarf (the remnant of a Sun-like star) and a cooler red dwarf locked in a tight orbit.
Discovered through low-frequency radio astronomy, they act like unseen lighthouses, guiding our understanding of a dynamic, layered cosmos.

My new essay, It’s All Really There: The Electromagnetic Life of the Universe, explores how we live inside a vast ocean of plasma and radio waves. How everything from weather to light to radio signals, moves within the same electromagnetic field, and, as Feynman said, “it’s all really there!”

A flash of red light over New Zealand: a rare sprite rising 90km above a storm, gone in a tenth of a second.
That image sent me back into my early work with radio astronomy and to how art and science make the electromagnetic life of the Universe perceptible.

It brings together 105 works by more than 40 designers, artists, filmmakers, architects, and writers, who explore the future from multiple perspectives from Asia, Africa and the Pacific, before finally arriving in Singapore - where we are.

From the moment you step aboard, you feel the convergence of science, storytelling, and technology.
The Summit gathered oceanographers, technologists, and filmmakers to imagine new relationships with the sea.
Amid it all, we announced a new OceanX exhibition opening next year at ArtScience Museum.

I’ve just spent a few days aboard OceanXplorer, the remarkable research vessel of OceanX, which has been docked in Singapore for the OceanX Summit.
It’s an astonishing place to think about the ocean, part science laboratory, part film studio, part dream machine.

As we move deeper into the exhibition, we encounter other artists and designers like Osborne Macharia, Serwah Attafuah and Leeroy New. They draw from their own cultural lineages, Indigenous, African, Asian, to create visions of futures which are possible, plausible and maybe even desirable.

I’ve been reflecting on the themes of our exhibition, Another World Is Possible
From Syafiq Halid’s sonic landscapes to Torlarp Larpjaroensook’s handmade spaceships, the show opens with a Southeast Asian futurism shaped by memory, craft, and care.

At our symposium We Dream in Futures and the Design Futures Forum, Liam spoke with urgency about why he makes these works.
He reminds us that world-building is not just an artistic gesture - it is a political, ethical, and environmental act. The futures we imagine shape the future we make.

Liam Young’s cinematic worlds are at the heart of Another World Is Possible at ArtScience Museum. We’re proud to present the global premiere of World Machine, Liam’s new work tracing Asia’s role in AI. Alongside it are Planet City, After the End and The Great Endeavour.

Another World is Possible is inspired by where we come from - Singapore.
Here, the future is cautiously optimistic, and shaped through planning, imagination and collective effort.
At a time when the world feels more uncertain than ever, this is our gift to the world on Singapore’s birthday.

From Indigenous cosmology to Asian futurism, from video games to radical design responses to the climate crisis, Another World explores world-building as a practice. The 100 works by 40 designers, artists, and architects suggest a future alive with possibility

I’m thrilled to announce that Another World Is Possible is now open at ArtScience Museum. Co-curated by me, my team and Liam Young, this is a show about how we imagine the future.
At a time when dystopias seem to be all around us, we counter by presenting futures shaped by resilience and creativity

For In the Ether, quantum mechanics is also explored through art. Libby Heaney, Semiconductor, Amy Karle, and Yu-Chen Wang present new works created with scientists, transforming entanglement, time, and uncertainty into shared experience.
We’re really excited about this year’s festival. Come visit!

When we close conversations down or treat futures work like a private holding, it gets harder to build trust, to share, to grow the work together.
The best futures I’ve seen come out of openness. when people are generous with ideas, and willing to be in dialogue, even when it’s messy.

In my experience, futures work flourishes when it is generous, when people collaborate openly, build on what’s already growing, and share credit and context. The care we have for each another’s work strengthens it.

It’s important to operate with care and respect when bringing futures work into places where it’s already unfolding, respecting those who hold space and nurture communities. I’d like to think that when we step into each other’s worlds, we do so with regard for the people tending the ground.

From planetary cities to silk punk, world-building takes centre stage in Another World Is Possible.
Part of our SG60 season, and co-produced with ACMI and DesignSingapore, it features over 100 exhibits by WOHA, Liam Young, Ong Kian Peng & more imagining the future from a Singaporean point of view.

I’m delighted to announce that our next exhibition at ArtScience Museum is Another World Is Possible.
It’s a show close to my heart, inviting us to imagine hopeful, distinctly Asian futures through art, design, film, and architecture. It opens on 13 September.

The essay brings together the work of scientists and artists — from Yakov Zeldovich to Tomás Saraceno (@tsaraceno.bsky.social) — to reflect on how form travels across scale, and how we might draw from both science and art to sense the structure of the universe. 🧪⚛️🔭

I’ve just published a new essay, Reading the Cosmic Web, inspired by Mark Neyrinck's Rivers of Galaxies in @aeon.co. It explores how the filamentary structure of the universe is echoed in rivers, mycelium, spiderwebs, and other branching forms of life.

The Quantum Turn is a curatorial reflection on quantum theory as a way of thinking. It explores how ideas like uncertainty, indeterminacy and non-linearity can shape art and culture.
It also traces our work with CQT (@quantumlah.bsky.social). Plus, it looks ahead to Quantum Crossroads in NZ. 🧪

It reflects our ongoing commitment to shaping the emotional and perceptual tools we need to live differently with each other, and with the more-than-human world.

In cultural institutions that are open, interdisciplinary, and civic-minded we can rehearse new responses to the ecological crises of our time. It is possible to cultivate the emotional capacities and perceptual tools we need to live differently with each other, and with the more-than-human world.
