Coming Soon | Islands in the Net
Islands in the Net transforms Padimai Art & Tech Studio into a temporary meeting space for tomorrow: part exhibition, part public living room, and part programme platform.
Bringing together data-native artworks, archives, screenings, performances, conversations, and spaces for reflection, the exhibition explores how technology is shaping everyday life in Southeast Asia—and how we might shape it in return.
Stay tuned for more information.

Thank you.
Over the past months, Your view matter (2022/2025) by Olafur Eliasson transformed Padimai into a space for shared encounters, reflection, and conversation. We are grateful to everyone who visited, experienced the work, and became part of its evolving story.
If you missed the exhibition or would like to spend more time with it, the experience continues beyond the gallery.
Your view matter can be experienced from anywhere through the artwork’s website using the Cardboard App and a simple Google Cardboard headset. Unlike a static artwork, Your view matter grows with every participant. Each new experience contributes to the work itself, extending it through the presence and movement of its viewers.
The exhibition may have come to a close at Padimai, but the artwork remains available in yourviewmatter.art to experience and extend; Your view matter.
OPEN CALL | OOPS: Origin Of Primary Source
Padimai Art & Tech Studio invites applications for the first edition of its Onchain Artist Residency, OOPS: Origin Of Primary Source.
This three-month remote residency explores the intersection of contemporary art, blockchain technology, archival practice, and creative knowledge production. Drawing inspiration from the principles of object-oriented programming, OOPS encourages practitioners to critically examine sources, references, processes, and creative lineages, while engaging with NFTs as artistic registers and systems of documentation, access, and exchange.
Five practitioners will be selected to develop new work and contribute to an evolving conversation on art, technology, and the digital commons.
Residency period: September 20 – December 20, 2026
Application last date: August 15 2026

People aren’t skeptical of technology—they’re skeptical of the people behind it.”
Olafur Eliasson reflects on technology as a tool that can make the invisible visible—one that can be used critically, even frictionally. In Your view matter, the experience becomes a space for awareness, where stepping out of VR might bring you closer to recognising your own needs—and the role culture plays in shaping that understanding.
Your view matter (2022/2025), a VR artwork by Olafur Eliasson, is presented at Padimai Art and Tech Studio.
“To be able to have a conversation with an artist of our time—and make that a public experience—is what matters.”
Vignesh Sundaresan reflects on creating a space where dialogue takes centre stage. Beyond monetary value, the focus shifts to cultural significance—engaging with artists, questioning digital culture, and exploring how it can evolve into something more meaningful for the world.
Your view matter (2022/2025), a VR artwork by Olafur Eliasson, is presented at Padimai Art and Tech Studio.
The exhibition is open to the public until 13 June 2026.
