Saturday Mornings: Eric Olander's "China-Global South Project" and China's impact across the region from Belt & Road to Taiwan

On MoneyFM 89.3’s Singapore Home Brew, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphenexplores one of the most exciting artistic collaborations to hit Singapore: Marshmallow Laser Feast (MLF) — the London‑based experiential art collective now serving as ArtScience Museum’s 2026–2027 ArtScientists‑in‑Residence aimed at deepening Singapore’s role as a global hub for immersive art, innovation and interdisciplinary creativity.

MLF's Artist‑director Ersin Han Ersin is known for transforming invisible natural systems of breath, sound, soil, ecosystems into immersive sensory worlds. 

Now with their most ambitious Asia engagement yet: a trilogy of major works spanning 2026 and early 2027. Ersin discusses how MLF blends art, ecology, neuroscience and cutting‑edge technology to create experiences that feel alive. 

We explore their current installation Evolver, a VR journey inside the human body tracing the path of oxygen from mouth to lungs — revealing breath as the link between humans and the natural world. 

MLF now at the ArtScience Museum: 
"Evolver" 21 Mar – 16 Aug 2026
Evolver is a collective virtual reality experience which drops audiences deep inside the landscape of the body, following the flow of oxygen through our branching ecosystem, to a single ‘breathing’ cell. The full experience of Evolver is available in Flesh and Bones: The Art of Anatomy and the VR Gallery.


"Seeing Echoes In the Mind of the Whale" 6 Jun – 1 Nov 2026
Seeing Echoes In the Mind of the Whale is a large-scale video installation that immerses viewers in the sensory world of cetaceans. Blending deep listening, scientific insight and artistic interpretation, it creates a sensory experience that connects audiences to the strange and wonderful worlds of bottlenose dolphins, humpback whales and sperm whales.
