## Art In Transit

### Thomson-East Coast Line

Scotts Road/Orchard Road from ION Sky by Mintio:Encounter the lights of Orchard Road as you emerge from Orchard station.

This artwork captures the night lights taken from the vantage point of ION Sky, as a form of cartography (map-making) as well as mark-making. The length of an entire roll of film was used to trace the area as one seamless image, unlike typical frame-by-frame photogarphy. With a panoramic camera and medium format photographic film, the lights were captured layer by layer, with multiple exposures. These render the bird’s-eye view of Orchard Road into abstraction, as if one is looking into the night sky, gazing at the stars.
