### Circle Line

The Cartography of Memories by Hazel Lim:The Cartography of Memories is a tribute to the places we love and the houses we lived in. Gathered through contributions from a hundred local residents and friends of the artist, this map of the larger vicinity of the Thomson and Caldecott areas is a collection of their personal histories, nostalgic memories and anecdotes of Singapore. By charting the streets, reservoir, houses and landforms of this area with their stories, it allows for their personal narratives to traverse the landscape of Singapore as the country shifts, changes and progresses over time.

### Thomson-East Coast Line

)(: by Claire Lim:As we experience the momentum of travelling in our individual daily lives through our senses of looking and hearing, we tend to blend into the platform; nimbly swallowed by automatic doors and moving trains.
‘:)(:’ transforms the station’s walls into a screen which greets us by saying HELLO 🙂 when we arrive and depart. The station walls appear to be grinning at us, presenting a static performance of dancing strings with smileys. They absorb murmurs while emitting a silent message for audiences today who return as passengers on other days.

The artwork creates a platform for commuters who transform into fascinating characters with unique yet transient appearances, carrying flows of energy and giving meaning to the station which otherwise is just an empty stage.

This artwork is only achievable with valuable contribution from Prof. Stylianos Dritsas (Singapore University of Technology and Design). The appearance of the artwork is configured by a specially designed software which enhances the character, overall mood and sensation of the artwork for everyone to enjoy.
