EXHIBITION

NOX by Lawrence Lek

Tickets to go on sale mid-Dec 2025.

Step into the future with NOX, a site-specific solo exhibition by visionary artist Lawrence Lek.

ArtScience Museum is presenting a solo exhibition by Lawrence Lek, one of the world’s leading contemporary artists working at the intersection of science and technology. Lek, a London-based artist, filmmaker, and musician, integrates diverse practices—architecture, gaming, video, music, and fiction—into a continuously evolving cinematic universe.

This expansive and immersive exhibition features the site-specific adaptation of Lek’s existing work, NOX (short for ‘Nonhuman Excellence’), which brings together all facets of his multidisciplinary practice on an architectural scale. Featuring interactive game stations, locative sounds, videos and specially designed scenography, you are invited to explore an anonymous smart city where the fictional AI conglomerate, Farsight Corporation, tests and trains its fleet of sentient self-driving cars.

Delving into the advanced integration of AI entities in urban life, NOX explores the problems and promises of artificial intelligence in an age of automation. It prompts reflection on questions of agency, ethics, and empathy between humans and the machines we create.

Originally commissioned by LAS Art Foundation and presented in collaboration with Farsight, NOX makes its Southeast Asian debut at ArtScience Museum. This new adaptation marks Lek’s first solo exhibition in the region and is one of ArtScience Museum’s key programme for Singapore Art Week.

Our Partners

Lawrence Lek is an artist, filmmaker and musician who unifies diverse practices—architecture, gaming, video, music and fiction—into a continuously expanding cinematic universe. Over the last decade, Lek has incorporated vernacular media of his generation, such as video games and computer-generated animation, into site-specific installations and digital environments, which he describes as "three-dimensional collages of found objects and situations." Often featuring interlocking narratives and the recurring figure of the wanderer, his work explores the myth of technological progress in an age of social change. He was named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people working in artificial intelligence and was the winner of the 2024 Frieze Artist Award.
