Islandwide Coverage is a multi-site, multi-authored project led by Wayne Lim (DAI, 2017) & Soh Kay Min ( together they form the collective AWKNDAFFR), with contributions from amongst others Areumnari Ee (DAI, 2017) and is commissioned as part of Natasha, Singapore Biennale 2022.
In this day and age where data and transportation networks make up the vernacular of everyday life, infrastructural and information systems generate conveniences, mobility, and the circulation of bodies and data while also bringing about acceleration and sensory overload. But within the dense tangle of predetermined pathways and programmable routines, is it still possible to get lost?
Intrigued by this question-provocation, AWKNDAFFR explores the circuitry of movement in the multi-site, multi-authored project, Islandwide Coverage. Activating a variety of vantage points (on the move, from above, within this existential plane and from somewhere other), AWKNDAFFR attempts to delineate from a well-worn terrain, navigating towards a sense of nowhereness (but not lost), as they invite audiences to wander on and off beaten paths around the island as a passenger-viewer.
A multi-site, multi-authored project led by Wayne Lim & Soh Kay Min, with contributions from Areumnari Ee (KR), ila (SG) and Ang Kia Yee (SG), Ranu Mukherjee (US), and Extended Asia (ID), is commissioned as part of Natasha, Singapore Biennale 2022.
Happening from 16 October 2022 to 19 March 2023, the seventh edition of the Singapore Biennale is conceived by Binna Choi, Nida Ghouse, June Yap, and Ala Younis.
