Lots of heart in i Light fest

COLOURFUL glowing watering cans, a live painting "canvas" that reacts to the light from your mobile phones, some food trucks and even a flea market. These are some of the things you will encounter if you take a walk around the Marina Bay area in March, once the sun has gone down.

But no, it isn't the annual Singapore Night Festival that you're seeing. Instead, it would be the i Light Marina Bay Festival 2014 - the third edition of a biennial night-time light art festival organised by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).

The three-week festival was initiated mainly to champion the cause of sustainability, so most of the art works were made using recycled products or biodegradable components, while lights are mostly LED lights powered by natural energy sources such as solar or kinetic energy.
