Agar Agar
Agar Agar is a gelatinous dessert derived from seaweed, popular across Asia for centuries. “Agar Agar” is also a colloquial Singaporean term meaning to approximate, to make an attempt.
The bionic agar bioplastic interface presents an interactive hybrid digital-sensory space that both obscures and opens up through variations in translucency and lighting of green-blue shimmering panels — a riverside garden for collective, spatial therapy, in a hyper-technological society that stigmatises open conversations around mental health.
