DigiMuse Presents: Circuit Breaker Edition

The DigiMuse Presents: Circuit Breaker Edition open call invited local creatives, including freelancers, companies, or everyday Singaporeans, to take inspiration from Singapore’s heritage and pitch fun and innovative ideas that could be translated into bite-sized digital content, and nimbly delivered on NHB’s digital platforms for Singaporeans. Selected proposals from the open call are awarded up to S$5,000 to see their projects through in collaboration with NHB, and have them launched and shared on NHB and its museums’ websites and social media channels.

The month-long open call received more than 70 proposals. The proposals were evaluated from May to July, and 20 have been selected. They will each receive up to S$5,000 for the fruition of their creative proposal, and completed projects will be gradually unrolled from August on the websites and social media platforms of NHB and its museums and institutions.

In celebration of our 55th National Day, five of these projects will be made available to the public from 1 August 2020. They come in the form of fun interactive Augmented Reality (AR) experiences and filters, as well as an engaging video series. Through the use of creative technology, these projects will allow the public to experience, interact and have fun with Singapore’s history and heritage in refreshing ways.

NDPerspectives by Kee Wei Kai
Available on NHB’s heritage portal, Roots.sg from 1 August 2020
This National Day, explore National Day Parades over different eras and locations with NDPerspectives. The AR work, created by multimedia producer Mr Kee Wei Kai, juxtaposes archival scenes from different National Day celebrations over the years into an immersive 360° image. Users can “step into” this panoramic scene and observe the evolution of various elements of the parades from the past to the present.

ACM IG Filters (Fashion & Jewellery; ACM Multicultural Questions) by GOWAAA
Available on ACM’s Instagram from 1 August 2020
For the first time, the public will be able to “try on” historical artefacts – through interactive Instagram filters inspired by the Asian Civilisations Museum’s (ACM’s) new Fashion and Jewellery galleries. Produced by art and technology collective GOWAAA, the filter allows users to try on stunning fashion and jewellery masterpieces in the Museum’s collection. A second interactive filter, ACM’s Multicultural Questions, also challenges users to put their knowledge to the test through an engaging trivia quiz on selected artefacts.

ACM Treasures by iMMERSiVELY
Available on ACM’s website from 8 August 2020
Draw close to treasures from ACM with web AR models by creative start-up iMMERSiVELY. Explore cross-cultural masterworks of Asian antiquities and decorative art that celebrate the region’s rich artistic heritage and achievements, including a rare gold cup from the Tang Shipwreck collection, an incense burner made with objects from different cultures, and an exquisite bridal headdress from Southeast Asia.

ND(AR)Pieces of Our History by iMMERSiVELY
Available on NHB’s heritage portal, Roots.sg from 1 August 2020
Over the course of Singapore’s 700-year history, various objects have been used to affirm identity and celebrate community. iMMERSiVELY has created 3D AR models of a selection of these in stunning detail, from a locally manufactured Setron television set from the 60s that families would have gathered around to watch National Day Parades on, to the Singapore Stone with its mysterious inscriptions. Users will be able to examine these objects up close in ways not possible before, through the power of AR.

Bite-sized Heritage by Jeremy Leong
Available on the National Museum of Singapore’s Facebook and Instagram pages from early August 2020
Watch Singapore’s heritage come to life in a video series of edible treats, titled Bite-sized Heritage, inspired by artefacts from the National Museum of Singapore. The video will feature pairings of artefacts with recipes of baked goods inspired by them, and viewers will be able to explore and discover bite-sized heritage trivia about objects unique to Singapore’s history. The first video in the series will feature the well-loved Singapore Stone with a twist – look out for a baked interpretation of it which everyone can try out at home.
