The construction of the Expo Digital Gallery (EDG), one of the four thematic facilities at Yeosu Expo, has been completed.
The Organizing Committee for Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea held a ceremony on April 23 to mark the completion of the EDG, with Chairman Kang Dong-suk and about 150 officials from the construction company and the Organizing Committee present at the ceremony.
The EDG sprawls between the Main Gate and the Gate 3, with a length and width of 415 meters and 21 meters, respectively. On its ceiling is mounted a 218-meter-long and 30–meter-wide giant LED screen that provides the very best image definition (6.54 million pixels) possible. During the Expo, at the EDG, diverse films will be screened on the ceiling while a variety of cultural events and performances are held on the floor.
A high-definition undersea footage will serve as a background and the interactive program, “Dreams of Whale,” will allow visitors to shape the whale with photos they send through their smartphones and summon the whale by calling out near sound collectors.
In particular, the EDG’s 3D holographic sound system will recreate the vibrant and vivid sounds of seven famous beaches around the world to accompany the digital displays of the ocean produced by a French film director, Charles de Meaux.
“The EDG is a multi-media entertainment venue that will feature diverse cultural contents, allowing visitors to have fun and enjoy beautiful images and a dynamic street culture,” said Kang Dong-suk, Chairman of the Organizing Committee.
