Maneuvering between an exhibition space in the daytime and a performance site in the evening, '///1 0///' is a multidisciplinary collaboration between visual artist Lee Mok Yee, composer and musician Ng Siu Yee, and dancer and choreographer Steve Goh. This experimental project challenges conventional methods of showing and experiencing art, and questions the spaces in which they are presented. Through a transfiguration of space and time – which allows a constant shift and oftentimes an overlap between visual and performance art – '///1 0///' invites visitors to explore the dynamic interplay between art, technology, and storytelling.

 

The project explores how technology has expanded the possibilities of storytelling through art. The artists, who witnessed the dawn of the digital era, find enjoyment in the process of tinkering with tools, machines, and codes, to expand traditional art forms. The artists view this approach as an attempt to explore the possibilities that exist beyond our usual way of thinking and seeing. The space of Temu House is divided into four sections that allow visitors to encounter a range of techniques, including interactive video installation, light sculpture, and kinetic sculpture. 

 

When the sun sets, the monsters come to live; the artworks transfigure as sounds and movements activate them during the evening performances. Here, the idea of a monster – a creature embedded in many narratives yet remains abstract and undefined – echoes the mythical, fluid, and imaginative nature of the show. In the context of '///1 0///', the monster also becomes a multi-interpretable symbol that encourages visitors to engage with larger and sometimes difficult themes: the fears and anxieties that exist in our society, a reflection of the hidden or unknown aspects of human nature, or the complex and sometimes contradictory forces that shape our world.
