Last month, STAR Artists-in-Residence Ng Hui Hsien, The Observatory, and Zarina Muhammad gathered at the Esplanade Annexe Studio to present a year of research developed in dialogue with scientists from the ๐ก๐ง๐จ Earth Observatory of Singapore. Spanning a spectrum of media and formats, their creative propositions traversed deep-time processes of land formation, secret signals of volcanic activity, submerged marine ecologies, and the ecological knowledge of the Orang Laut, revealing how powerful inspirations can emerge from the encounter between artistic and scientific inquiry.
We are deeply grateful to the artists for animating this journey with experimental curiosity and sensorial resonances. We hope these ideas and relationships will reverberate through many works to come. Our gratitude extends to all our collaborators who joined us on this path and to the ecologies, planetary processes, and elemental forces that sustain our existence.

STAR Residencies (Science, Technology, Art & Research) is a pioneering initiative by NTU CCA Singapore, designed to foster meaningful cross-pollination between artistic and academic research by embedding artists within world-class research institutes at Nanyang Technological University.
