Singapore Nightscape during i Light Marina Bay

View my i Light Marina Bay Photo set here

A special thanks to my friend invitation to the marina sky park during his family staycation at Marina Bay Sands Hotel.

The weather threathen my visit to the park but the thought of wasting such a good opporturnity just keep me going....

Upon reaching the park the force of nature is too strong that i had missed out the blue hour shots.....

I was disappointed with the thoughts of reaching home without any good shots and so i decided to go up again using the tower 3........

This time round , the rain became smaller but the strong wind and water at the glass panel stills put my skills to a limit....
Until...........I finally found a spot with v minimum wind and unblock view...Even though i couldnt get the full view including artscience museum... I am still happy...

At this point of time...."i Light Marina Bay" light festive is on going... I could see the merlion being decorated with different colour.....On the floating platform , i could see lights blinking.....What a sight...

The “Switch Off, Turn Up” Campaign is going on in conjuction with the lighting festival , where stakeholders in and around Marina Bay are invited to switch off non-essential lighting whenever possible and turn up air conditioning temperatures to a comfortable 24 to 25 degrees during office hours.
The first edition in 2010 attracted 16 properties and saw collective savings of more than 41,000 kWh of electricity over the three week event period, translating into saving 22 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. This year, the number of properties that have committed to take part in the campaign has more than doubled to over 40. The campaign has also successfully extended its reach well beyond the Marina Bay precinct, with buildings across the island pledging their support.

The Singapore landmarks which are committed to reduce their energy use include very large properties like the prominent Marina Bay Sands – also Prime Sponsor of i Light Marina Bay – Marina Bay Financial Centre, as well as The Fullerton Heritage.

Some buildings, which took part last time, have agreed to undertake additional energy efficiency measures and would encourage their tenants to do likewise.

For the 2010 lighting festival, City Developments Limited (CDL) involved four of its properties. It has taken the initiative this year to step up its commitment to introduce a total of 12 of its Singapore buildings into the “Switch Off, Turn Up” Campaign. Already a sustainability leader at home, CDL has made it for the third successive year onto the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations Listing, ranking at 62nd for 2012.

About the Festival
......
i Light Marina Bay, Asia's first and only sustainable light art festival was first held from 15 October to 7 November in 2010. Presented by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and organised by Smart Light Singapore (SLS), the event celebrated Marina Bay's nightscape through the showcase of 25 dynamic and innovative light art installations along the 3.5km waterfront promenade.
The installations made use of energy-efficient lighting and created awareness for energy-saving lighting technology for the urban environment. The "Switch Off, Turn Up" campaign kicked off a programme supported by Marina Bay stakeholders to Switch Off non essential lighting and Turn Up air-conditioning temperatures for the festival period. This initiative has come about to offset energy usage and promote energy savings from lighting. Programmes and fringe activities targeting families, students, industry professionals and the general public were also planned as part of the Festival.
The inaugural festival was a substantial success and was attended by more than 433,000 visitors over a three-week duration, of which approximately 71,031 were international visitors.
This is the second edition of i Light Marina Bay, and will be held from 9 March to 1 April 2012. Themed "Light Meets Asia", the sophomore will feature more than 30 innovative and environmentally sustainable light art installations, with a strong focus on works from Asia.
The Festival's curatorial team . is helmed by Festival Director Mary-Anne Kyriakou, and includes two co-curators: Charmaine Toh, a Singapore visual arts curator; and the team from Singapore award-winning design studio FARM. In line with the theme "Light Meets Asia", the curatorial team has selected the sustainable light art installations from over one hundred submissions. The final selection of installations features a strong representation from new, emerging, and well-known artists from countries across Asia, including Singapore.

Apart from the visually arresting and interactive sustainable light art installations, visitors to i Light Marina Bay 2012 can look forward to a full array of complementary programmes and activities – including a night carnivals, outdoor performances, guided tours, educational talks and workshops – all to ensure that there is something for everyone.

Garden of Light
Hexogon Solution, Singapore
Hexogon Solution was founded in 1997 by Adrian Goh. It has staged
several large-scale projections on giant structures, buildings and even a
commercial airliner. Goh and his team of design and production staff are
experts in the field of video mapping projection.
Garden of Light is an ambitious projection on the surface of the ArtScience
Museum at Marina Bay Sands incorporating a variety of light and sound
effects to tell a story about environmental sustainability and highlight the
beauty of the natural world. The projectors make no impact on the surface of
the ArtScience Museum but create a spectacular effect visible from several
vantage points throughout Marina Bay. This work is a festival commission
