\\: The Singapore River as a Psychogeographical Faultline, conceptualised and produced by 26-year-old Singaporean artist, Debbie Ding, will be presented as part of this year's Open Call 2010, an annual showcase first initiated by The Substation in 2008 to support strongly artistic, critical and rigorous visual arts proposals.
This exhibition will examine and explore the role of the Singapore River as a 'psychogeographical faultline', where reality, memories and imagined spaces interact, merge, or drift apart, through a unique interactive and generative map installation. 
Generated by algorithms, the installation will help the audience to make sense of the significance of the river, as well as better understand its history and geography.
During the exhibition, the audience will also be invited to take part in an interactive exercise, where they can mark a map of the Singapore River with both real and fictional landmarks, stories, and memories, creating, in turn, their own mythology for the river.
\\: The Singapore River as a Psychogeographical Faultline is Debbie Ding's first solo exhibition in Singapore.
