WHAT makes a live music event "cooler" than others? For the IMI (Innovation, Music and Inspiration) Festival, the answer is tech, talks and art installations. Organised by experiential events company Sunshine Nation, it was held last Saturday at the now-defunct Kallang Airport.
The inaugural festival had chosen a charming venue. Kallang Airport, which opened in 1937, was Singapore's first purpose-built commercial airport. It ceased operations in 1955 to make way for the new and bigger Paya Lebar Airport, and was gazetted in 2008 as a heritage site.
Ironically, I went to an old airport to check out "tech". The IMI Festival had sensorial, interactive tech showcases that featured virtual reality and tilt brush 3D printing. But while those were interesting, I was more fascinated by the use of a different form of tech: GrabPay.
