02:09Singaporeans swarmed to Gardens by the Bay to immerse themselves in the enchanting world of Borealis, the latest art installation that strives to replicate the awe-inspiring beauty and ambience of the famous Northern Lights typically visible in northern countries like Russia and Iceland.
Footage filmed on Sunday showcases an enthusiastic crowd gathered under the Borealis exhibit marvelling at its "18" futuristic flower-pod-like structures enveloped in swirling clouds of smoke which projected a mesmerising play of blues and greens, mimicking the hues of the Northern lights.
Borealis are the brainchild of Switzerland-based artist Dan Archer, who used light beams and cloud particles to craft a captivating light display reminiscent of the aurora borealis.
Depending on wind, temperature, and humidity, the Borealis display is ever-changing, much like the Northern Lights.
"I felt that maybe the aurora in reality could be static, so maybe a different experience but it was quite magical," Nandagopa Narasimhan, a university student said.
The installation was complemented by an emotive score created by French composer Guillaume Desbois, enhancing the atmospheric allure of the Borealis exhibit.
Starting May 5th, Borealis will be lit up every Monday from 8 pm to 8:30 pm and every Saturday and Sunday from 9 pm to 9:30 pm local time.
