From 1 to 30 September, Ethereum Singapore is joining hands with ArtScience Museum to present In the Ether – A Festival of Technology and Innovation, which offers a plethora of interactive and multi-media installations, activities and talks featuring international and local artists and collaborators.
It will also be home to Ethereum Singapore Week, which is making a comeback from 16 to 22 September. Ethereum Singapore Week will unite industry leaders and innovators to share their visions for the future of Ethereum as the blockchain edges closer to mainstream adoption with an increasing variety of uses.
“Ethereum Singapore is back with a renewed focus on innovation and supporting builders. In 2024, we’re gathering the Ethereum ecosystem for a dynamic series of events, hosted by diverse communities and partners. Our goal is to foster new ideas that will strengthen the foundation for Ethereum’s future and empower the next wave of innovation,” said Qing Ze Hum, Organiser of Ethereum Singapore.
This series of activations will be held alongside Ethereum Singapore’s month-long showcase at ArtScience Museum titled To the Infinite Garden and Beyond, which explores the history and future of Ethereum. Departing from traditional, large-scale sit-down conferences, Ethereum Singapore’s project-driven calendar of events invites the community to shape the agenda and drive the conversation. Each day will spotlight a different theme within the ecosystem, fostering a dynamic and participatory environment.
Ethereum Singapore Week kicks off on 16 September with “Ethereum Singapore: Infinite Garden City Comes Alive,” focusing on the foundational principles of Ethereum. Highlights also include “Ethereum by the Bay” on 19 September, offering a collaborative coworking environment, and “Ethereum Ecosystem Day” on 21 September, which showcases real-world applications and contributions to the Ethereum ecosystem. With over 15+ events throughout the week, full details and lineup can be found at ethereumsingapore.com.
“ArtScience Museum is excited to collaborate with Ethereum Singapore on In the Ether: A Festival of Technology and Innovation – a month-long takeover of ArtScience Museum that celebrates the convergence of science, future-forward technologies and creativity. The festival explores new frontiers of technology and science through a myriad of installations, talks, workshops, and showcases, including an educational installation that traces Ethereum Singapore’s journey from its inception to its future, highlighting Ethereum’s move to a more sustainable way of working.
In the Ether is also a platform for other festivals too, each exploring different facets of science and innovation. Nestled within are distinct events like Ethereum Singapore Week, Ocean Tech Week which focuses on environmental issues, and Creator RenAIssance by AI Create dedicated to artificial intelligence. The festival runs in tandem with significant events like Singapore Design Week and the TOKEN2049 convention, establishing ArtScience Museum at the heart of Singapore’s innovation landscape throughout September. We are delighted to be working with Ethereum Singapore on welcoming technology enthusiasts and newcomers to the festival this month,” said Honor Harger, Vice President of ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands.
At last year’s festival, Vitalik Buterin brought attention to a major challenge for Ethereum: the ever-expanding size of its digital record and the need to move towards statelessness. As Ethereum’s user base grows, its data record becomes increasingly complex and harder to manage. The proposed solution, Verkle Trees, was implemented just a few months ago as a key milestone in Ethereum’s evolution. This year, the community eagerly anticipates what Vitalik will highlight next on Ethereum’s roadmap.
As Ethereum continues to evolve, it is laying the groundwork for a decentralised and accessible global financial system that empowers individuals and communities alike. Ethereum Singapore will celebrate this vision and explore the path toward greater inclusivity, innovation, and the widespread adoption of decentralised technologies.
