The title "Miles Apart – Transcending Street Art" conveyed a message of interconnectivity, which was a concept present in various fields such as cybernetics, biology, and ecology.

The street art was displayed in an open space gallery with a white-washed backdrop, creating an experiential arrangement for viewers.

The artisanal conceptualisation and materialisation of the street art focused on creating a distinct scene that reflected the generous co-living space in COOLIV.

By showcasing selected art pieces in large sizes, the space exuded a sense of warmth and friendliness, creating a calming and serene atmosphere for visitors.

The Singapore Land Authority took special care to preserve the unique heritage elements of the property, adding to the building's retro charm.

Utilizing a diverse range of mediums such as photography, film, VR, painting, recycled objects, installations, and cutting-edge technologies, the artists explored the transformative power of art in creating alternate realities and challenging conventional perceptions.

Through their thought-provoking creations, visitors were prompted to question their preconceptions, offering a fresh lens through which to reconsider truth and reality within the realm of art.
