The Movement of Things project is an exploration into the qualities and properties of movement. Through a range of exercises these movements are captured and translated by custom-built software and the use of an autonomous, tiny and wireless motion sensor. A series of Motion Sensing Extensions suggest different approaches of how to use a motion sensor within various physical environments to capture movement to better understand the materialization of movement and new forms of interactions through movement.

The experimental music scene in Singapore emerged in 1990s and grew out of the underground rock music scene of the 1980s. In this sense, the experimental scene has a shared history with the development of popular music in Singapore that occurred concurrently with Western popular music movements. Over the past 20 years, the scene has gained momentum and developed into a small, yet vibrant community. Similar underground experimental music scenes have also emerged throughout South-East Asia, e.g., in Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Yogyakarta, Jakarta and other major centers, which has led to an increase in experimental musical activity in the region.

Old is gold: nestled amongst the new skyscrapers mushrooming in our skyline, our familiar and beloved shophouses have now taken on an iconic status, reminding us of our heritage and providing a glimpse of life in pre-independent Singapore. Epigram Books’ latest addition to its colouring books series celebrates these nostalgic terrace houses with 20 illustrated images of Singapore’s favourite shophouses from Ann Siang Hill to Joo Chiat Road. Printed on high quality paper, the pages of this book can be individually removed and framed.

The time period of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries has brought significant changes and tough challenges to post-war Yugoslav countries (i.e. Wachtel 1998; Dragićević Šešić and Dragojević 2006; Švob-Ðokić 2011; Brkić 2014). Forced and willing migrations, intensified ethnic distances, destroyed industries, and the combined consequences of globalisation, the economic crisis, and the process of European integration have changed not only the ingrained way(s) of life but also the appearance and perception of life in urban environments in former Yugoslav countries.
