Come January 11, 2025, the National Gallery Singapore will host an event that promises to redefine the intersection of art, technology, and climate consciousness. Scarce City, the brainchild of interdisciplinary climate artist Elizabeth Mak, offers a revolutionary arts-meets-tech experience that challenges participants to reconsider their relationship with resources and the environment.
Known for her work on Broadway and international stages, Mak brings her theatrical and multimedia design expertise to this ambitious project.
With sessions capped at 20 participants each, this immersive initiative combines serious gaming and theatre, underpinned by Mak's commitment to sustainability and innovation. Drawing inspiration from Kate Raworth's Doughnut Economics theory, Scarce City invites participants into a 3D-printed world of recycled plastic, where light-based resource management gameplay unfolds.
Over 4,000 pieces of recycled PET bottles form a striking 3D-printed environment inspired by Singapore's Little Guilin rock quarry. Participants navigate a meticulously designed light-based game that mirrors the complexities of real-world resource management.
As they engage, four generational "voices" interject, offering historical and contextual insights that provoke reflection.
