| Introduction | R.I.T.E.S is an artists-initiative organised as a non-profit event to platform new ideas and artists in sonic art, time-based and performance art-related practices. Its objectives are to present an eclectic mix of performances that is informed by visual aesthetics, technological integration and conceptual integrity involving art making and the social and cultural contexts that are related to performances. It explores art activities that are spatial, the way in which performance is linked to cultural, ethnic and geographical elements of the body, and at the same time exploring how all these elements can be bounded to the global, technological, cultural and economic shifts in our daily life. |

| Favorite movies | The Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore (ICAS) is the curatorial division of LASALLE College of the Arts. It runs the LASALLE Galleries and is dedicated to exploring new and experimental art, design and media practices. Its programme focuses on showcasing international, Asian, South-east Asian and local contemporary art with the aim of contributing to the cultural well-being of students, artists and the Singaporean public. Committed to the experimental and new, ICA seeks to support practices which challenge orthodoxies and establishment. This serves as not only an important educational tool for students but, offers an alternative to artists in giving them the opportunity to explore and venture into unknown, unrecognised spaces not otherwise available in the Singapore today. |
