DAISY: 2007



This photo was taken last weekend. Located at the Departure Area of Changi Airport Terminal 3.

Medium: Fibreglass propeller with steel pipe pedestal

About The Art

Daisy celebrates Singapore's significance in international air and sea travel. This is symbolised by the Daisy's propeller which is a central element of both air and sea travel. Its visual resemblance to a flower in bloom serves to highlight the tropical richness of Singapore's flora.

Daisy is an interactive installation marrying a fibreglass ship propeller and a high-precision industrial robotic arm. Light-sensors mounted along its 13 meter height sense the presence of onlookers and enable Daisy to move interactively in accordance to the movements of the onlookers.

I always stare at this windmill like structure when I'm at T3. Doesn't really move cause of the air conditioning indoors. But still pretty to look at :)
Have a good week ahead :)
