All Possible Paths: Richard Feynman’s Curious Life
[Media Invite]
It says, "Curiosity kills a cat." However, that proverb should include a rejoinder "but satisfaction brought it back". If you have an inquisitive child, you will truly understand this proverb. Without 'Curiosity', there will be no inventions, no innovations, no improvements.
ArtScience Museum has launched a brand new exhibition, All Possible Paths: Richard Feynman’s Curious Life, to mark the centenary and remarkable achievements of Nobel Laureate, Richard Feynman. Richard Feynman is one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century, the students from the gifted programme in primary schools will be familiar with him, as well as secondary school students.
We only knew Richard Feynman as a physicist, but through this exhibition, we got to know that he had a broad range of passions, from Science to Music, to Arts, as well as a great speaker.
The exhibition – which runs till 3 March 2019 – underscores Feynman’s curious nature and creative thinking which drove him to explore many possibilities in life, including art and music. We will have the opportunity to know Feynman through a collection of over 70 personal letters, papers, artefacts, photographs, his famous bongo drums, and his original paintings, all of which are being exhibited outside of the United States for the first time.
As AJ is pretty interested in Chemistry, the 'Element Interactive Station' attracted him the most. Both of his friends, together with him, spent more than half of our time there manipulating the lego bricks to form those elements.
One of the key installations is a new artwork by Malaysian architect and artist, Jun Ong. Co-commissioned by ArtScience Museum and CQT, Quantum is a visually stunning and immersive laser light installation inspired by quantum computing. The installation sees mirrors placed strategically to form continuous laser paths, distorting dimension and spatial logic, akin to the quantum phenomenon known as entanglement.
All Possible Paths: Richard Feynman’s Curious Life is an exhibition suitable for students of secondary level and up, or younger ones who have a strong interest in Physics and Chemistry. Due to school holidays, there are free public guided tours (see below) which will be helpful in understanding the works of Richard Feynman.
The ticket prices are as follow. And you may purchase them on-site or online here.
