Light, we can't live without it but we can certainly consume less energy in the process.

That’s what i-Light Marina Bay 15 October to 7 November aims to showcase with 25 light art installations along Marina Bay’s shores.

Asia’s first sustainable light art festival that marries art with new technology challenges artists, designers and architects -- which include Sun Yu Li, Chris Bosse, and Mark Hammer -- to make copious use of light-emitting diodes (LED), solar power, good ol’ elbow grease, and even discarded cooking oil in their creations.

市区重建局首次举办的亚洲首个注重可持续发展的灯光艺术节“照亮滨海湾”,点亮滨海湾一带的艺术魅力。
作为一个注重环保及可持续性的艺术节,艺术品都采用了节能技术与LED灯泡,将资源浪费减至最低。而在某些艺术品当中,如整个艺术节最大型的作品"My Public Garden"就利用从废弃了的食用油转化而成的生物燃料来发电,而另一个以钓鱼杆为造型的作品"Wattfish"就需要依靠人们转动手柄来将动力转化成电力,点亮钓鱼杆上的灯泡。
