"dedicated to the question of how technology can function as cultural infrastructure. That means examining how digital works are created, how they survive, how they circulate, and how they shape collective memory."
"meant to play a complementary, not competitive, role within Singapore's cultural landscape"
"don't fit neatly into gallery timelines or commercial expectations, supporting artists to work with technologists, archivists, coders and designers in ways that allow the work to evolve organically rather than being rushed toward display,"
"Experimentation at Padimai is not about spectacle; it's about process,"
Padimai Art & Tech Studio opened in Singapore's Tanjong Pagar Distripark as a heritage, contemporary art and research institution examining how technology can function as cultural infrastructure. The venue focuses on how digital works are created, survive, circulate and shape collective memory, and aims to play a complementary role within Singapore's cultural landscape. The space supports projects that do not fit commercial timelines, enabling collaborations among artists, technologists, archivists, coders and designers so works can evolve organically. Preservation of digital works and experimental processes are priorities rather than spectacle. The inaugural exhibition adapts Olafur Eliasson's 2022 virtual reality work into six interactive digital installations with individual experiences recorded on a blockchain-based system.
