SG60: Heart & Soul — LAYERS OF TIME

Part of Singapore’s SG60 celebrations in 2025, with the National Library Board: a public exhibition about the stories that connect the country, on two floors of the Orchard Library inside orchardgateway, open daily from 26 August to 31 December. Four months of show days, at a scale where the rig has to be as reliable as the building it stands in.

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s walkthrough of the experience is above.

We came in as the programmers: the job was to integrate four systems and make sure they stayed in sync for the run. Pixera as the media server and master control, sending every screen its content and the clock to everything else. GrandMA3 for the lighting. MADRIX for the LED strips. Unreal Engine for the real-time and AI-driven scenes. One timeline, four systems answering to it.

The full rig and credits are being collected for this page.
