The following blurb is extracted from UOB's website (with photos by Daily Refreshing) :-
In celebration of UOB’s 90th anniversary and Singapore’s 60th year of independence (“SG60”), the UOB Plaza 1 building will become the world’s tallest, brightest and longest projection mapping canvas.
From 28 June to 9 August 2025, the 280-metres-tall facade of UOB Plaza 1 will feature a series of projection mapping shows, developed and created by local talents, that commemorate the Bank’s 90th anniversary and SG60.
1) UNITY presented by UOB in partnership with Hexogon
Presented in collaboration with multimedia integrator, Hexogon Solution Pte Ltd, UNITY brings to life UOB’s 90-year history through an engaging visual and audio experience.
The show has earned three Guinness World Records titles: Largest Light Output in a Projected Image, Longest Architectural Projection-Mapped Display (Temporary) and the Highest Projection Image on a Building. The setup produces a total of 5.85 million lumens, covering around 250 million pixels on UOB Plaza – by comparison, a standard television consists of approximately 2.1 million pixels.
The six-minute animation led by Creative Director, Mr Benjamin Tan, is inspired by the Bank’s values and commitment in doing right by its customers and communities. Through three distinct acts, it celebrates the spirit of innovation and change at UOB that has shaped the Bank’s past and present as it looks towards the future.
Act 1: Time
The first act features a bold and imaginary interpretation on time and reality, connecting the audience back to UOB’s early beginnings with a visually-impactful sequence that plays on the building’s architectural and surrounding elements. This dynamic play using the Singapore River, past and present building blocks, symbolises the Bank’s resilience and adaptability through time.
Act 2: Transformation
The second act celebrates UOB’s achievements and milestones through the use of Asian-inspired motifs and music. Inspired by traditional art forms such as Wayang Kulit, watercolour painting and metal work, projections depicting shadow play puppets, portraits of women and building blocks are some of the visual highlights that will light up the building facade. These visuals represent the Bank’s commitments to supporting our communities, championing for the arts, equality and diversity, and forging strength and security through innovation and courage.
Act 3: Tomorrow
The third act offers a glimpse of what lies ahead in the future through vivid images of technology and nature working in tandem. In the final scene, UOB’s collective aspirations and ambition for the future is depicted by a growing bonsai tree, which highlights the Bank’s continued commitment to building a sustainable future for ASEAN, doing right by our customers, communities, colleagues and the environment.
Ms Janet Young, Head, Group Channels and Digitalisation, Strategic Communications and Brand, UOB, said, “This year marks a significant milestone as UOB turns 90 and Singapore celebrates its 60th birthday. Our growth story is closely tied with Singapore’s growth story, and we are deeply grateful for the continuous support from our community, who have grown and journeyed with us across generations and regions. The projection showcase is our way of giving back – offering a record-breaking visual spectacle for the community, both for those who are based here and those visiting from overseas, to enjoy and to celebrate our shared journey.”
