Agar Agar is a gelatinous dessert derived from seaweed, that has been popular across Asia for centuries.
“Agar Agar” is also a colloquial term in Singapore, where I’m from. It means to approximate, to make an attempt.
The bionic agar bioplastic interface presents an interactive hybrid digital-sensory space that both obscures and opens up through variations in translucencies and lighting of the green-blue shimmering panels. A riverside garden for collective, spatial therapy, in a hyper-technological society that stigmatises open conversations and treatment for mental health.
