Drift Alley: An Inventory of Survival Economies

What might everyday life look like tomorrow?

Drift Alley: An Inventory of Survival Economies by Dr. Debbie Ding transforms a row of conserved shophouses into a speculative catalogue of fictional businesses shaped by artificial intelligence, the metaverse and the rapidly changing nature of a digital future.

Displayed as a panoramic landscape inspired by Singapore's Little India, the artwork invites you to wander through reimagined shopfronts, raising questions about labour, identity and survival in response to technological and socioeconomic changes.
