The ever-popular Silent Disco Asia also returns for festival-goers to bust a move and revel in to both nights of the festival with three channels of music and neon-lit headsets. And the whole festival site will feature the spectacular aesthetics enhancements of Neon Lightsโ dรฉcor guru Soph O.
Programmed by arts and culture consultancy Hyphen, Neon Nooks explores the cycle and treatment of discarded objects – from otherworldly trash creatures to wearable sculptures made from recycled colanders and plastic tubes, festival-goers are invited to reflect upon our hyper-consumerist culture through the representation of waste, alienation, as well as the necessity of resourcefulness within an urban context.
All this will take place amidst the perfect backdrop of Soph Oโs eclectic, extraordinary and transcendental dรฉcor creations, which make the festival ever so inviting. Since its inception, 80% of Neon Lights Festivalโs dรฉcor has been made out of repurposed and upcycled materials.
