Singapore Biennale 2006

The whole Singapore Biennale tour is refreshing. We explored and visted the various art pieces and presentation in National Museum and the Tanglin Camp. Some of the pieces sit well with me, some I do know why they are arts, honestly. To me, art is simply what that simulates our sensory being. It is what you can gathered from the whole experiences upon in touch with the pieces.

There is this short film featuring a guy that acted like Annabell Cheong. He acted as if he is making love yet shouting 'Death Penalty is Immoral'. Many people regard Annabell as immoral and hated her for puting Singapore on the international spotlight for the wrong reason. Yet isn't the fact that we embraced Capital Punishment also put Singapore on the world map too? Is what Annabell did more immoral than having the right to take another person's life? Something to think before answering. I just read a book - Freakonomic. There is statement that said, moral values tell what we want our ideal world to be, economics tell what the world actually is. If moral is simply a result of how we think we want to run our society, then what determines immoral?If all standards are man-made, who then determines what is right or wrong afterall.
