Getting There

Come explore Cupid’s Koi Garden by ENESS this summer at Kaleidosquare!

A riot of vibrant colour, Cupid’s Koi Garden is an immersive, six-metre-high giant fountain – a school of koi fish surrounding the cheeky cherub, Cupid.

Cupid is an artificially intelligent being who is on a mission to spread love and joyfulness.

But watch out! Cupid and his Koi are watching you, and they’re ready to spray water on anyone who gets too close!

Featuring 360-degree tracking technology, Cupid’s Koi Garden by ENESS is a wonder of art and science – and a must-visit destination this summer!

Fed Square is pleased to present to you Cupid’s Koi Garden by ENESS for its world debut, as part of the Kaleidosquare summer program.
