Changi Airport plants "The Social Tree"

19 Jun 2013

Singapore Changi Airport, in partnership with LG, has installed 'The Social Tree' for travellers to share photos and videos while visiting the airport. These can be posted to social networks or left behind to become a part of the airport’s history. 

The avant-garde designed tree is located in Terminal One’s Central Piaza, which is right after the immigration counters and set against the backdrop of aircraft bays. It is comprised of eight touch-screen photo booths and 64 giant 42-inch high-definition screens, offering a 360-degree display of various animated backgrounds including a mystical forest and the Singapore skyline.

The digital memories will be kept for many years and decades in the tree, turning it into a digital memory capsule. “We hope to offer a connection over time for our passengers who pass through Changi many times in their lives,” said Yeo Kia Thye, senior vice president for airport operations, Changi Airport Group.  “It will also provide a social element for our more than 52 million passengers each year to reach out to family and friends.”

The new attraction follows the installation of the mesmerising Kinetic Rain sculpture at the departure hall in the same terminal and an orchid garden, situated in Terminal Two (see here), thus highlighting the airport's relaxing environment.
