I’m very happy and deeply grateful to receive the Distinguished Patron of the Arts Award 2026 from the National Arts Council Singapore.
The Patron of the Arts Award recognises individuals and organisations who have made significant contributions to the development of the arts. This year, I am honoured that the award acknowledges my work in the preservation of digital artistic practices and the development of new approaches to cultural stewardship in Southeast Asia.
Thank you to the National Arts Council Singapore, and to all the artists, collaborators, and institutions who have been part of this journey. This recognition is an encouragement to continue exploring how we can care for, preserve, and make accessible the digital cultural practices of our time.

Your view matter, inviting each participant into an immersive personal experience, where perception is not fixed but continuously shaped by one’s movement and presence. The experience does not end with the headset—it unfolds through conversation & shared presence in the gallery.

“As the title says, Your View Matters—the way you move constitutes the artwork. You put on the headset, and you are inside the work. It makes the invisible visible.” — Olafur Eliasson

Founder @vigsun, in conversation with Kathleen Ditzig at SAW 2026, traced Padimai’s roots in blockchain culture, cyberpunk, and early NFT. He reimagines blockchain as an archival tool, positioning Padimai as a space for “on-chain residencies” and new digital commons.
