EXHIBITION


MENTAL: COLOURS OF WELLBEING

Strollers are not permitted inside MENTAL: Colours of Wellbeing due to space
constraints and for safety reasons. A designated parking area for strollers is
available near the exhibition entrance.

How are you? You know that it’s okay to feel what you are feeling, right?

Your feelings are unique and personal.

MENTAL: Colours of Wellbeing is not an exhibition about mental illness,
treatments or cures. It is a welcoming place where you can confront societal
bias and stereotypes around mental health. MENTAL invites you to embark on an
intimate and personal journey that explores the many different ways of being,
surviving and making connections, that have become of increasing importance to
us all.

This exhibition features 24 interactive exhibits, art projects and large-scale
installations by international artists, makers, scientists and designers that
reflect a range of perspectives on mental health and ways of being. In addition,
there are seven artworks by Singaporean and Southeast Asian artists that explore
mental health from a uniquely Southeast Asian perspective. 

The works featured in this exhibition take on serious topics in an accessible
way and have been grouped into four broad themes - Connection, Exploration,
Expression and Reflection. 

MENTAL celebrates differences and complexities and represents the idea that
every mental health journey is unique. We encourage you to reflect upon,
question and empathise with what it means to be human in the second decade of
the 21st century. 

MENTAL: Colours of Wellbeing is co-curated by ArtScience Museum and Science
Gallery Melbourne and is the last exhibition in ArtScience Museum's Season of
Mental Wellbeing - a year-long programme of exhibitions and events that are
intended to raise awareness and initiate conversations on the importance of
mental health and wellbeing.

ANXIETY ANIMATIONS


What does anxiety mean to you?

We all experience anxiety to some extent in our lives. It is normal to feel
anxious or worried in certain situations. Sometimes, anxiety can help us to stay
alert and aware. However, if left unmanaged, the feeling of anxiety can be
disabling.

The works presented are selected through an open call conducted by EYEYAH! Using
colourful illustrations, these gifs consider different notions of anxiety in the
contemporary society. Often witty and multilayered, they represent the ways we
might experience and react to anxiety.

Contributing artists: Anngee Neo, Jim Stoten, Luqman D, Zhang Liang Ray, Arne
Höpfner, Chloe Bennett, Maria Jesus Contreras Aravena, Kristal Raelene Melson,
Rakhmat Jaka Perkasa, Seo Young Kwon, Iain Macarthur, Mamatism, Epjey Pacheco,

BETWEEN EARTH AND SKY

What does the weight of caregiving look like? Can we share it?

Working with a community of caregivers of persons with mental illness, Alecia’s
work titled Between Earth and Sky makes visible the contributions and needs of
caregivers who often deal with the emotional and financial weight of caring for
loved ones with mental health condition.

Over the course of a year, Alecia collaborated with movement artists to design
movement and voice workshops to aid the caregivers in processing and harnessing
their lived experiences culminating in self-choreographed performances as seen
in the video.

The kites, that accompany the video, bear the photographs of clothing taken
close-up from each caregiver and their loved one. These kites symbolise both
vulnerability and freedom; the momentary (re)centering of the attention on the
caregiver who has long learned to bear weight, but may have forgotten how to
give, or release their own weight.

Performances by: Alvyna Han, Carol Ee, Frank M, Nur Hidayah, Sulis, Janet Koh
Hui Kheng, Ng Sook Cheng, LM, Rita Minjoot

Biography

Alecia Neo develops long-term projects that involve collaborations with
individuals, communities and networks. Her socially engaged practice unfolds
primarily through photography, video, and participatory artworks that address
modes of radical hospitality, caregiving, and wellbeing.

She is the co-founder of Brack, an art collective and platform for socially
engaged art, and is co-Artistic Director of the Ubah Rumah Residency in Bintan,
Indonesia. She also runs Unseen Art Initiatives, a Singapore-based art platform
for professional and emerging disabled artists. Alecia was the recipient of the
Young Artist Award in 2016, Singapore's highest award for young arts
practitioners.

CASPER’S EX

How close are you to your phone, emotionally?

Casper’s Ex is a playful interactive artwork that explores the relationship
between our smartphones and ourselves. Our smartphones have become one of our
most intimate companions. We depend on them, go everywhere together and share
everything with them. When a newer model comes along, some trade in their phones
without a second thought.

Have you ever thought about how your phone might feel? Casper’s Ex is a lonely
smartphone that has been left behind with its owner’s data, scent, and pictures;
it cannot move on.

As you pass by, it will try to connect with you. Can you turn your back and
simply walk away?

Biography

Casper de Jong explores what connects and moves us as humans through his playful
interactive work. Combining theatre, ethics and complex human emotions, his work
contributes to the conversation around the integration of technology into our
lives and minds. Always taking a light-hearted approach, Casper asks people to
reflect on the good and the dangerous sides of technology in our lives. He
graduated in 2017 from the University of The Arts, Utrecht.

CUSHIONS?

What things do you use as a cushion?

Artist Emily Fitzsimons has a mixed history with medication, “I remember when I
first went on antidepressants, being told they are a cushion while you sort
yourself out. I have a love/hate relationship with them which is why I wanted to
put a question mark at the end of the title.”

These hand-knitted cushions, modelled on actual pills, reflect on the role of
medication in mental health treatments. In the same ways as a cushion can help
to soften the harshness of life and protect us from the hard edges, medication
can also provide a little protection to brains that sometimes need it.

Biography

Emily Fitzsimons is an artist who uses knitting, a medium traditionally used for
practical purposes, to create whimsical yet emotionally engaged works. Her
process involves upsizing things that are usually small, downsizing large things
or, in some way or another, incorporating unusual materials. Emily uses her work
to challenge the way we see the everyday, adding a beauty and little humour to
it.

DISTORTED CONSTELLATIONS

How much can we trust our perception of reality?

This beautiful, immersive sensory environment transports you into the imagined
landscape of Nwando’s perceived world. Nwando has a rare neurological syndrome
known as Visual Snow, which causes her to see additional visual effects of
swirling dots, glowing lines, light bursts, and halos.

This work defies the idea of what a ‘normal’ brain is, in favour of
understanding reality as a subjective experience. How much we can trust our
senses and, therefore, our understanding of our own environments?

Biography

Nwando Ebizie is a multidisciplinary artist whose work converges around
performance art personas, experimental theatre, neuroscience, music and African
diasporic ritualistic dance. She has created her own strand of afro-futurism
wherein she combines research into neuroscience, inspired by her own
neurodiversity and an obsession with science-fiction and ritualistic live art
practice, seeded in collaborative and participatory processes.

DOING NOTHING WITH AI

Can you do nothing?

Have you ever imagined what doing nothing feels like, especially in these times
of constant busyness and the pressure to be always connected? In today’s
fast-paced world, doing nothing never seems to be an option; even short periods
of inactivity feel strange. However, sometimes, enjoying a moment of inaction
while letting your mind wander and daydream may be more productive than
constantly keeping busy. Doing Nothing with AI, the artist-built robotic arm, is
here to relax your mind through dance. The dance choreography you are seeing now
was learned using brainwave feedback collected from people who have donned the
electroencephalogram (EEG) headset. Contribute and co-create new choreographies
by wearing the EEG headset and letting the robot learn from your brain
activity. 

Biography

Emanuel Gollob is a self-confessed polymath – his work connects and explores
many disciplines. He dabbles in human to A.I. interaction, neuroscience,
robotics and beyond. Emanuel is always exploring different ways of interacting
with his audience. The most important thing to him is how the visitors connect
to his work and the emotions they experience while engaging with it. Emanuel is
completing his PhD in the Creative Robotics research team at the University of
Art and Design, Linz.

ECHO

CONTENT WARNING: It includes themes of suicide, abuse, anxiety, and depression.

Can technology make us better human beings?

Step inside and have your photograph taken. Echo, however, is not a regular
photo booth. Once your picture is taken, a side menu of other people’s faces
appears. Select one of them and listen to their story.

Their portrayal glitches and morphs as they share their perspectives and
memories with you. Slowly see yourself fuse with them. Does this feel familiar,
or will it be a window onto another person’s perhaps entirely different
perspective?

Using immersive technology, Echo aims to break down prejudice by building
empathy through the exchange of identity while inviting you to discover layers
of yourself echoed in another.

What will connect, and what will be lost in transmission?

Biography

Georgie Pinn is an artist, director and producer of public cultural events,
interactive installations, film, fashion, animation, theatre and sound. Her
creative practice is underpinned by her long-term research into how immersive
technology and storytelling can be used as a creative force for triggering
empathy and connecting strangers. She pushes the envelope of audiovisual
storytelling, creating interactive live generative animation and sound platforms
driven by motion tracking technology.

Her projects have been presented in a range of international sites/events such
as The Barbican (London), Ars Electronica (Austria), Federation Square
(Melbourne), Drive (Berlin), Robotronica, ISEA (South Africa), Pause Fest, and
the MCG. Most recently she won the “Best Interactive Experience” award at
Sheffield Doc Fest in the U.K. for Echo.

EVEN IN FEAR

Can you take the pressure?

In this pink cage, a weather balloon builds up pressure slowly, stretching,
pulling and pushing at the confines of its cage. When an explosion seems
imminent, the balloon slowly deflates. This cycle of inflation and deflation
repeats again and again.

How do you feel by looking at this process? Do you feel anxious?

Evoking anxiety, and somehow mimicking what it can feel like, Even in Fear
creates and reveals the feelings of uneasiness and pressure hidden just beneath
the surface of everyday life. Eventually, when the balloon cannot withstand the
repeated pressure due to the constant inflation and deflation, it will burst. A
new balloon will replace the burst balloon, and the entire cycle begins again.

Biography

Zhou Xiaohu was one of the first contemporary artists in China to work
experimentally with sculptural ideas of video and animation. Xiaohu’s work often
points out the absurdities of contemporary life, reflecting a world in which
technology rules and the media is the pinnacle of propaganda and public
influence. With a background in sculpture, oil painting and graphic design,
Xiaohu’s work is a dynamic combination of these mediums.

GO MENTAL

How do you take a ‘time out’ from your own mind?

Go Mental transports you into a surrealist dreamscape examining Josh Muir’s
personal experiences of night terrors. A combination of colour, sound, and
textures connect you with Josh’s experiences of psychedelic dreams, nightmares,
different states of consciousness, and the complexities of inner thoughts.

This work comes from a personal place but is an invitation to all to better
understand the shared human experience of trauma, healing, and creativity.

Put your head inside the large inflatable characters named Telly, Birdie, and
Teddy to hear soundscapes representing the highs and lows of Josh's mind created
by University of Melbourne students.

Biography

Josh Muir (b. 1990 d. 2019) was a visual artist of Gunditjamara/ Yorta
Yorta heritage from Ballarat, Victoria, Autrallia.

Josh’s art reflects a style influenced by contemporary street art, with his art
practice developing as a creative outlet for his mental health journey. Josh
took to contemporary street art as a child, inspired by vibrant colour
contrasts. His work Heaven’s Gates (2014) won the People’s Choice Award at the
2014 Victorian Indigenous Arts Awards, and in 2015 Josh won the Youth Award in
the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Art Awards for his work Buninyong
(2015).

HELLO HUMAN, HELLO MACHINE

Hello, can you hear me?

Telecommunication has allowed us to develop a level of intimacy with others not
bound by our physical location. However, when a certain technology reaches
obsolescence, our relationship with it changes. In today’s hyper-connected
world, the mobile phones in our pockets allow us to instantaneously share things
with our friends. With the help of virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, our
connection goes beyond the human. What never changes, though, is our need to
reach out to others, to connect and share.

Hello Machines are situated across the globe in ever-changing locations and time
zones. Pick up the phone to call another Hello Machine or answer the phone when
it rings and have a spontaneous conversation with a stranger. Who will be on the
other end of the line for your call?

Biographies

This version of Hello Human, Hello Machine was developed in collaboration with
Dr Johanne Trippas and five members of Sci-Curious: Eli/Elena McGannon, Annabel
Yenson, Claire Price, Jess Coldrey and Joseph Doggett-Williams, with creative
technical assistance from Dr Matthew Gardiner.

Rachel Hanlon is an artist in the field of media archaeology, an area of study
that provides historical context for new media and technology. She is interested
in reconnecting with obsolete technologies to reveal their contributions,
connections and ongoing relevance to our lives. The Hello Machine project is a
big part of Rachel’s PhD research into the interplay between people and things.

Dr Johanne Trippas is interested in making information more accessible
through digital assistants. For example, she researches how people search for
information over spoken conversations and how pilots use digital flight
assistants while flying. She is also working with Ambulance Victoria using
artificial intelligence (A.I.) to identify when a caller in an emergency call is
having a cardiac arrest. 

Dr Matthew Gardiner is an artist most well-known for his work with origami and
robotics. He coined the term Oribot 折りボト and then created Oribotics, a field of
art/science research that thrives on the aesthetic, biomechanical, and
morphological connections between nature, origami and robotics. Gardiner holds a
position as artist and key researcher at the Ars Electronica Futurelab in Linz,
Austria.

Jess Coldrey is a creative technologist, human geographer, and 2021 Victorian
Government John Monash Scholar. She received her BA and BVA from Monash
University in 2021, where studying sustainable development, 3D printing, and
creative coding inspired her artwork. Jess has exhibited across Victoria,
including an artist residency at Burrinja Gallery.

ISOLATION CHAMBER

What would the worst day of your life be like?

Imagine, on the worst day of your life, being under constant surveillance while
locked in a small, secluded room. Some people don’t have to imagine.

Victoria, Australia, has the highest number of recorded involuntary detentions
as a result of mental health issues, especially in young people, in the entire
country. This installation invites you to question the role of seclusion in
mental health practices. You can participate in this installation by stepping
into the box without your shoes. Alternatively, pick up a questionnaire, peer
through the portals and write your observation. What is it like watching someone
else? Do you think you could you tell what they are thinking or feeling? 

Biographies

Rory Randall is an ex-patient who is a part of the Consumer Academic Program at
Melbourne University’s Centre for Mental Health Nursing. They were drawn into
the research space after ten years of experiences in the public and community
mental health sector as a service user and worker. They are now interested in
making spaces for non-individualising responses to distress and unusual
experiences that expand an individual's sense of connection to what is
meaningful to them whilst upholding their dignity and human rights.

Indigo Daya has been a lived experience leader in mental health services,
education, policy and advocacy for sixteen years. She currently works as a
survivor activist, author of The Blog That Shouldn’t Be Written, a consumer
academic at the University of Melbourne, and a mental health consultant and
educator. Labelled with depression, schizophrenia and borderline personality
disorder, art was a place of survival and sense-making for Indigo during nine
years of repeated psychiatric hospitalisation. Eventually art became a
transformative tool with which she dug her way to freedom. She is interested in
reframing ‘mental illness’ as a meaningful response to being human in a world
filled with trauma, inequity, hate, violence and climate crisis.

KIND WORDS

CONTENT WARNING: this work includes themes of suicide, abuse, anxiety, and
depression.

How do we spread kindness and positive connections over the Internet?

Words are powerful – they can help, heal, hurt and even harm. In this space, we
invite you to use your words to uplift others and, in turn be uplifted. Using
the computer, you can write out your concerns or reply to other people’s
messages anonymously with kindness. Alternatively, you can leave a physical
message of kind words to yourself and other people.

Sometimes, all we need are a few kind words. Be kind to yourself and others.

MICROBIAL MOOD

Could your microbiome change your mind and mood? 

Microbial Mood explores how we think about mental health through a speculative
experiment, in particular the relationship between the effects of sound on
bacterial growth in the human body. In the bacterial treatment room, two agar
plates populated with microbiome samples ‘listen’ to different sounds, and
another one listens to nothing (the control). Pick up the headphones, listen to
the different music and observe the growth of the microbes. Does different music
really change their growth?

This is a live experiment, speculating on recent research that suggests we may
improve mental health by encouraging the growth of certain bacteria in our
bodies combined with the gut-brain connection. Could sounds treat mood disorders
by influencing the human microbiome?

The microorganisms in MENTAL: Colours of Wellbeing were chosen, cultivated and
cared for by Associate Professor Dalton Tay Chor Yong and Jeremy Lim Hong Kit
from Nanyang Technology University School of Material Science, Singapore. These
microorganisms are commercially available and presented in an enclosed
environment under the covers in sealed petri dishes.

Biography

Sophia Charuhas has a passion for biology and fine art and has recently immersed
herself in the world of bioart. Taking an interest in the human microbiome and
how it influences mood and behaviour, Sophia works with living organisms as the
medium of her artwork. Most recently, she has been researching how sound
frequencies may affect bacterial growth and if this may be used clinically. She
has previously conducted research into the field of bioart, asking how bio
artists could be shaping the future of biotechnology. Sophia has since graduated
from Liverpool John Moores University, UK and now works as a medical writer.

Associate Professor Dalton Tay Chor Yong received his B. Eng (1st Class Honors)
and Ph.D. from the School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), Nanyang
Technological University (NTU), Singapore, in 2007 and 2012 respectively. In
2012, he was also awarded the Lee Kuan Yew Postdoctoral Fellowship to further
pursue his academic aspirations. He currently holds an Associate Professorship
with MSE, NTU. His research interests are highly multi-disciplinary and span
over the fields of circular bioeconomy, waste materials valorisation,
sustainable biomaterials, and environmental science and technology. Among the
research activities, his lab aims to develop innovative nature-inspired
solutions to reduce the environmental footprint of anthropogenic wastes. The
study and use of environmentally sourced microbes to break-down waste materials
is one of such examples. Through art, he hopes to explore the deeper meaning of
science and make his research findings more engaging and accessible to the
public.

Jeremy Lim Hong Kiat is a materials scientist with more than 3 years of R&D
experience. With a Master of Engineering degree from NTU, he enjoys using his
practical skill set to contribute to new technological advances in Singapore.
His passion lies in the nexus between nanoscience, biotechnology, and
sustainability, which he has been working tirelessly to explore. A keen advocate
of giving back to the environment, he has been actively involved in the
valorisation efforts of various types of food waste and garden waste. He is
currently upcycling electronic waste plastics into a bio-hybrid composite, which
could potentially help lower the carbon footprint of future urban
infrastructure.

This work was originally developed in collaboration with Dr Glyn Hobbs, Dr
Kathryn Smith, Mark Roughley and Dr Andrew Leach.

MIRROR RITUAL

Who knows you best? The machine or you?

Your mirror image is not you. Your mirror image only bears a passing resemblance
to you.

As you gaze at your reflection, the mirror perceives your emotional state, and
in response it presents you with a machine-generated poem. The text gently fades
onto the mirror’s surface, and is displayed for as long as you continue to gaze
into your reflection.

Inspired by the Theory of Constructed emotion, Mirror Ritual explores emotion as
emerging from within an interaction. Emotions don’t happen to you, but you
actively construct them within a given context.

Rather than a prescriptive interface, as is common with emotion-detection
technologies, Mirror Ritual allows for the human-machine co-construction of
emotion. The work uses poetic language to offer new concepts with which to frame
your current emotional state. Mirror Ritual presents a new kind of relationship
with Artificial Intelligence. Not one based in habit, but a relationship imbued
with meaning and intention. The mirror does not provide instant gratification,
instead it offers a new ritual with technology, one that allows you to linger in
time. The mirror can offer meaning, but it asks something of you first.

To begin the ritual, you must look your mirror image in the eyes.

MODEL: KITCHEN

Have you eaten?

In Singapore, food is viewed as a unifying cultural thread. Asking someone if
you have eaten is a way of showing you care – similar to asking how are you. In
the domestic setting, food is inextricably associated with the kitchen.

It is often said that the heart of any home is the kitchen. Beyond utility,
kitchens are a communal space; an area that facilitates conversations over meal
preparation, the passing down of precious recipes and the sharing of quality
time. A kitchen is a place where we can perch ourselves on the counter and relay
our day to one another over the sounds and smells of cooking.

Model: Kitchen adapts the format of the kitchen showroom and digital renders,
often utilised by furniture and interior design industries, and takes a step
further into imagining the ideal kitchen, beyond design. Using the hollows of
appliances, Model: Kitchen unpacks the various intimacies of food preparation,
familial dynamics and care in the home, through digital scenes of the many daily
motions of household care practiced in the kitchen.

NOISE AND CLOUD AND US

How does it feel to see someone you care about and love deeply living with
mental illness?

Noise and Cloud and Us is an exploration of trauma, empathy and kinship,
emerging out of personal experience caring for a loved one living with mental
illness.

The images presented here reflect Shwe Wutt Hmon’s inner state, while looking
after her sister Kyi Kyi Thar, who lives with schizophrenia. With the permission
from Kyi, Shwe began to photograph Kyi in her daily life. The choice of black
and white was a conscious reflection of Shwe’s mental state as she struggled to
find colour in moments she perceived as gloomy. At the same moment Kyi, who is
trained as a painter, was making very colourful paintings. Understanding that
colours are very important to Kyi, Shwe asked her sister to paint over the black
and white photographs in any way she wished.

This collaborative work resists capturing an easy picture of living with mental
illness Rather, it engages with image-making as an empathic response and to
reimagine a sense of recovery.

The colour photographs presented alongside are taken by Kyi from March 2020 to
November 2021. 

Biography

Shwe Wutt Hmon (b.1986) is a Burmese photographer and artist, based in Chiang
Mai, Thailand. Shwe’s works focus on collective histories, familial ties, knots
and threads of human relationship and exploring the inner psyche through
intimate story telling about people and places close to her heart. She tells
personal stories from which she connects and examines broader social aspects;
vice versa she works on social documentaries reflecting and drawing from her own
position within the issue. Shwe uses photography as her main medium and
incorporates archives, videos, texts, poems, paintings and drawings of her own
or collaborating with others.

PORTAL

How do you self-regulate your emotions?

This large tactile fabric tent-like sculpture invites you to touch and feel the
different soft and approachable objects and discover how sensory play can
support a sense of wellbeing. Portal is designed to be a relaxing and
comfortable place, a respite space to combat anxiety and sensory overload.
Through tactile play, discover what activates your senses and what relaxes you.
It is a space that encourages you to engage and escape into the imaginary. Come
in, play, escape and stay for as long as you want before continuing your
journey.

This installation is informed by the lived experiences of Rawcus’ members who
experience anxiety and sensory overload.

Biographies

Rawcus is a critically acclaimed ensemble of performers with and without
disabilities, who create distinct performance work and deliver exceptional arts
experiences. Rawcus devises new work that expresses the imaginative world of the
Ensemble. Drawing on dance, theatre and visual art disciplines, their works are
crafted with a precision that supports the performers but allows space for their
inherent sense of anarchy. Rawcus’ work is sculptural, unexpected, beautiful,
funny and tender.

Original Portal concept realisation and design by Rawcus, Jolyon James and Prue
Stevenson.

Prue Stevenson is an artist and a member of Rawcus, who aims to celebrate and
progress autistic culture for autistic people while creating experiences that
are more broadly accessible to all. She uses repetitive and tactile processes to
allow for experiences of sensory play and to create spaces for downtime.

REMIND ME LATER

Can we keep up with the latest technology? 

Remind Me Later is inspired by the option we are given, when notified that our
smartphone or device has a new update, to set a reminder to install the update
at a future point. The work explores the mounting pressure we are under to
always keep up with the latest technology.

In this video, a three-dimensional model of an androgenous human figure
continuously distorts and floats across the screen. Pink Noise, such as the
ambient sounds of waves on the beach or wind rustling through trees, is said to
promote better sleep and blends with the background music in the video. The
random motion of the pink human figure accompanied by the soundtrack reflects
our ever-changing relationship with technology.

What is your relationship with technology? Will technology be able to replace
our need for social connection?

Biography

Tromarama is an art collective founded in 2006 by Febie Babyrose, Herbert Hans
and Ruddy Hatumena. Engaging with the notion of hyperreality in the digital age,
their projects explore the interrelationship between the virtual and the
physical world. Their works often combine video, installation, computer
programming and public participation depicting the influence of digital media on
society’s perception of its surroundings. Tromarama live and work between
Jakarta and Bandung, Indonesia.

SCENES FROM THERAPY

Why is showing vulnerability such an issue?

Have you ever wondered what happens during a psychotherapy session? Scenes From
Therapy is a visual representation of what goes on in YANGERMEISTER’s mind
during therapy.

Creatures, sporting colourful hair pieces and powered by technology, surround
two mirrored chairs, and depict the various complex emotions the artist has
experienced during her therapy sessions: Breakthrough, Confusion, Static,
Clarity and Exhaustion. This work opens the door onto a highly personal space,
to gave a glimpse of what therapy looks like, from the inside.

On the opposite wall, a series titled Receipts from Therapy explores the stigma
around the term “psychological counselling” by scripting new perspectives,
literally, over the receipts from each therapy session. These receipts also
reveal the harsh reality of the monetary cost involved in private psychological
counselling. Through the act of writing on these receipts YANGERMEISTER takes on
the responsibility of rebuilding her own mind.

Biography

YANGERMEISTER (Tan Yang Er) is a multi-disciplinary Singaporean artist who
creates immersive, multi-sensory experiences. She draws influences from pop
culture and is obsessed with exploring the human condition. Storytelling remains
the crux of her works and each piece of art: picture, installation or set she
builds, serves as a means of creating a deeper bond one human to another. In
2017, YANGERMEISTER won the Best Art Director of the Year at the international
Mnet Asian Music Awards.

Yunora is the brainchild of creative technologist Akbar Yunus and is a
Singapore-based social enterprise organisation specialising in creating unique
human experiences by connecting the physical and digital worlds. Collaborating
with academics, creators and clients, its mission is underlined by an obsession
with tackling complex problems and developing solutions in a way that a
computer, a human, or both can understand. As Yunora co-designs, co-invents and
co-realises imagination with its collaborators, it aims to do things differently
– not for the sake of being different – but to make the future better.

SELFCARE_4EVA_2001

What is your self-care routine?

Caithlin O’Loghlen is not famous on social media. She has never hit the big-time

she spent two weeks living in a constructed ‘bedroom’ inside Science Gallery
Melbourne, creating wellness-related content each day for YouTube, Instagram and
TikTok. Her progress was watched live in the gallery by visitors and streamed
via Twitch to a global audience.

This video documents Caithlin’s stay, from what she was eating for her meals and
her skincare routine to hanging out with a series of guests, including self-care
enthusiasts and mental health experts. Take a mirror selfie, create your own

STATE OF MIND

How can we express our feelings when there are no words to describe them?  

Circles are commonly used in art therapy to help process and express feelings on
a deeper level. The notion of ‘drawing in a circle’ provides a visual way to
manifest these thoughts and emotions.

In this work, the act of ‘scribbling’ within the circle is a representation of
Yi Xuan’s contained state of mind. Where words fail, the process of scribbling
is an means of confronting her inner chaos. At first glance, State of Mind
evokes a sense of calm; however, on closer inspection it reveals a more violent,
turbulent and complex nature. 

How do you express yourself? 

Biography

Lee Yi Xuan’s practice focuses on confronting overwhelming emotions that cannot
be expressed through words. She recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts
(Hons) in Fine Art Practice from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), Singapore.
Trained in both fine art and design, Yi Xuan is passionate about teaching and is
currently pursuing her Masters in Art Therapy at LASALLE College of the Arts,
Singapore.

THE AESTHETICS OF BEING DISAPPEARED

CONTENT WARNING: This installation includes themes of anxiety, depression, and
isolation.

Do you use the Internet to escape your problems?

“We have all been awkward at different points in our lives. Sometimes that
awkwardness gets in the way of connecting with other people or even feeling
confident in ourselves.” For Wednesday Kim, socialising with people in the real
world is scary; instead, she finds comfort and solace in virtual space.

This installation is an immersive mixture of her introverted mind, experiences
with therapy, and addiction to the Internet. The collage of images, text, and
sound, rooted in popular culture and internet language, is a visual
representation of her hectic headspace – “sometimes it’s nervous, anxious, and
humorous.”

Like Wednesday, do you feel more comfortable being online?>

and human psychology; she derives imagery from nightmares, intrusive thoughts
and childhood trauma. She portrays the absurdity of our information-saturated
contemporary life in a surrealist fashion through wordplay, Wikipedia, voyeurism
and witticism

THOUGHTFORMS

What if you could hold your thoughts in real life?

Combining personal experience, scientific knowledge and technological wizardry,
Thoughtforms creates a three-dimensional memento from your mind. Take a seat,
put on the headset and create your own unique “thought recording”. Let the EEG
headset detect and record your thoughts, observations, dreams, feelings and
memories in real-time. Your recorded “thought data” are interpreted through
digital imaging and 3D printing into abstract forms you can hold in your hand.
Thoughtforms continues a long tradition of artistic practice to materialise
mental experiences by visualising them outside our heads. It also speculates on
the role of technology in reshaping how we think.

Biographies

Dr Kellyann Geurts’ (b. 1968 d. 2022) work was informed by her experience as a
patient, artist and researcher. Her practice explored the digital expression of
‘thoughts’ and how we relate to them in the context of our personal experiences.
Part of the inspiration for this research was the uncomfortable and traumatic
experience of medical testing around her neurological symptoms. Kellyann drew on
neuroculture, cognitive science and medical imaging technology to gain greater
clarity and depth of understanding of her personal experiences and issues as a
way of reflecting on how identity is formed in relationship with technology.

Dr Indae Hwang is an interactive artist, designer, researcher and lecturer.
Indae researches our relationship with emerging technologies through interactive
art. He teaches User Experience and Interactive Design in the Department of
Design at Monash University, Australia. 

This project was developed under the PhD supervision of Dr Mark Guglielmetti and
in collaboration with SensiLab, Monash University, Australia.

WHEEL

What if you could turn a dial to instantly boost your mood?

Wheel is a collaboration between artist, Hiromi Tango and neuroscientist, Emma
Burrows exploring the effects of exercise on our mood. Scientists have shown
that exercise can boost brain plasticity, protect our mental health, and help us
live longer. Yet, we make excuses, delay, and cancel our next workout.

How can we tap into this mood-medicine and what keeps us on track?

Biographies

Hiromi Tango has been creating her signature sculpture and textile-based art in
Australia and around the world for many years. She is known for experimenting
with vibrant colour, lighting and details that bring the invisible connections
we have with nature, others and ourselves to life. Hiromi’s art is made with the
intention to heal and draws from her continuous fascination with what makes us
happy. These explorations span her solo artistic practice, community engagement
projects, and collaborations with scientists and health professionals.

Dr Emma Burrows is a neuroscientist exploring how environments can impact our
mental health and memory. Emma’s team studies mice living in playful and
positive environments. Her team explores how these positive environments impact
a mouse’s motivation, mood, brain growth and ability to learn and pay attention.
She hopes that understanding some of the complex drivers of motivation and the
way we interact with our world will pave the way for healthier and happier ways
of living. If you participate in this project, you will be part of her first
experiments with humans. She knows your motivations will be more complex than
mice and is looking forward to seeing the results.

Dr Tilman Dingler is a computer scientist and researcher who builds technologies
that peek into their users’ minds. Whether sleepy, alert, bored or annoyed what
if computers picked up on our cognitive states and adapted to them? Tilman uses
data from smartphones, wearables and novel sensors to model and then enhance our
abilities to communicate, process information and learn more effectively.
