Companion Guides:
In Threshold, sound artist Louis Quek proposes futures where boundaries and margins dissolve, existing instead in a perpetual state of endless transitions.
Within a sonic landscape shaped by subtle shifts in tone, subharmonic vibrations and spatial resonance, Quek creates an environment where divisions lose their hold: between centre and periphery, sound and silence, self and surrounding. These fleeting moments are reimagined as potential sites for transformation, uncanny stillness and radical presence.
The installation unfolds as a space to drift, notice and recalibrate — inviting us to reflect on how we listen, and how a world in flux might also be a world of possibility.

Presented in collaboration with artists and creatives, ArtScience Encounters is an invitation to discover curious spaces hidden within ArtScience Museum’s unique architecture.
Louis Quek is a Singaporean sound artist and sound designer who navigates multiple realms simultaneously, exploring the intricate interplay between sound, space and perception. Based in Singapore, his practice expands from a foundation in electronic music into art installations, films, theatre productions, and cross-disciplinary collaborations.
Quek’s work spans contexts from experimental performance to corporate campaigns. Driven by a passion for sound design as both craft and inquiry, each project extends his vocabulary and forges new dialogues between his sonic world and its transformative possibilities.
Under his alias Intriguant, Quek has released solo works and collaborated widely across disciplines — integrating ambient textures, immersive spatial design and cross-media experimentation.

What boundaries dissolve when we listen deeply to spaces, to each other, to the unseen?
In this guided walk, sound artist Louis Quek invites participants into a slow, contemplative journey shaped by the textures of the everyday. Drawing on principles of deep listening and sonic poetics, the walk encourages a porous mode of attention, one where listening is more about presence.
As a companion to his installation Threshold, the walk extends Quek’s exploration of dissolving boundaries: between listener and environment, sound and silence, self and other. Each step becomes a practice of attunement, an invitation to notice the flux and resonance that ripple just beneath the surface of daily life.
In a world often overwhelmed by noise and velocity, A Sonic Walk offers a rehearsal for other ways of being and gentler futures that are imagined through attention.
Futures Festival: Worlds in the Making is an invitation to hold the future open. It brings together the community in a shared exploration of plural worlds emerging from the equator — worlds that are generous, resilient and already in the making.
For one night only, sound and movement converge in a living ceremony. In this collaborative performance, sound artist Syafiq Halid activates his 14-channel installation in Another World Is Possible exhibition with the presence of dance artist Norhaizad Adam, extending his sonic philosophy into the moving body.
