The vision of flying cars soaring among Kuala Lumpur’s skyscrapers by 2020 may seem farfetched in hindsight, yet the rapid technological advancements in recent years have reignited a sense of optimism among Malaysians, particularly within the realm of contemporary art. These spaces now serve as a canvas for exploring futuristic aspirations and the evolving relationship between technology and society.

For a reflective look at the recent past, visitors can immerse themselves in the hopeful visions of What Tigers Dream Of, When The Kancil Roars? – an exhibition at Media Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur’s GMBB creative mall.
