Visitors can view the outdoor garden from 15 Dec, but the actual exhibition will take place next year from 16 Jan to 31 Mar 2020.

The initial pictures show that Gardens by the Bay will transform into a sea of lights with outdoor and indoor artworks.

Let’s take a look at this stunning digital marvel that is set to grab your attention soon.

Dragonfly lake & sunflower lattice

The outdoor gardens will feature a dragonfly lake with a group of ovoids or egg-shaped structures standing on the water’s surface.

The ovoids will shine brightly and illuminate the lake in diverse shades of light. Whenever an ovoid is touched, its colour will change. It will also emit a distinct tone based on the colour.

You might already know how Gardens by the Bay look like in the flesh, but the light of these ovoids will transform the entire landscape at night.

The outdoor garden will include a lattice with seasonal flowers that scatter and change over the course of an hour. The flowers’ transitions are inspired by the continuous cycle of life and death as the seasons pass.

Flower forest & ever-changing artworks

teamLab is famous for its indoor light tricks so don’t miss their indoor artworks.

The creative exhibition will include technicolor animals with flowers growing from their bodies. Similar to their typical life cycle, they will bloom, scatter and wither.

Unlike a typical museum, you can attempt to touch the animals and be a part of the piece.

Have you ever seen a canvas that is ever-changing? Like many of their pieces, the artworks will become bright to represent life, and dark to represent death.

The planned artworks are breathtaking and we can’t wait to see them up close.
