Aquatics
Philipp Artus (Germany)
Location: Under Esplanade Bridge (near Merlion Park)

Aquatics is an interactive animation depicting sea creatures swimming around and interacting with one another. It explores the emergence of life through abstract shapes and movement. 

Using a tablet, visitors can design their own creatures and add them to the underwater world.  

By witnessing the beauty of animal locomotion in its natural habitat, participants are reminded of the urgent need to preserve biodiversity and ecosystems.
