About
PLURITOPIA

Pluritopia is a part of the joint initiative between the National Arts Council Singapore (NAC) and the Arts Council Korea (ARKO) under the signed Memorandum of Understanding in promoting arts and culture exchange between artists, creatives and technologists of the two nations. Pluritopia - produced and curated by Spang & Lei, is centred on the idea of pluralism. Pluritopia is a portmanteau from “plural” and “universe”; where multiple universes exist, collide, and merge. Pluritopia aims to address the current “crisis” & post-pandemic art and technology landscape through a multi-tier Cloud platform.

ABOUT PLURITOPIA CLOUD STUDIOS

Cloud Studios is the first tier of Pluritopia Cloud platform. Cloud Studios invites Singaporean and Korean artists, creatives, and technologists across different geographical locations to build virtual environments in the Cloud that will grow into a larger Pluritopia multiverse overtime. These environments are virtual versions of artists' studios dedicated to remote online dialogue, collaboration and experimentation. Pluritopia Cloud Studios is a glimpse into the possibilities for future online remote artistic practices, and collaboration beyond the post-pandemic world.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER/CURATOR

Spang & Lei is a Singapore-based duo composed of Serena Pang and Ng Wen Lei.

Their practice engages the performativity of participatory experiences while examining the interstices in creation and regulation of bodies and places brought about by digital and emerging technologies. Spang & Lei’s research in frameworks for collaborative dynamics and technology has led them to produce and curate multiple local and international arts and tech programmes.

Serena endeavors to be a perceptive performer-archivist; unpacking everyday performativity as a reification of the socio-political Self. She holds a M.A in Performance Studies from NYU and was awarded “2014 Performance Studies Emerging Scholar Award” by NYU’s Department of Performance Studies.

Wen Lei is an artist and educator and hopes to initiate a dialogue between the state of Singapore’s digital art and technology with participatory politics. Wen Lei is a graduate of NYU’s Interactive Telecommunication Program (ITP) and was awarded the Tisch School of the Arts Scholarship from NYU, New York in 2012 - 2014.
