Yeosu or Hawaii Seven major seas displayed at EDG… attract visitors with 3D stereo sound and high-definition images Without having to go through a complicated visa procedure or forking over expensive plane tickets, visitors to Expo Digital Gallery (EDG) at the Yeosu Expo can easily experience the ultimate romance of the emerald-green sea and sounds of ocean waves of Hawaii. The EDG screen, an overarching digital screen stretched in the air from the main gate, showcases images and sounds of seven major seas every day, including the Pacific Hawaiian sea, the Italian Bay of Capri, Cape Horn of South Africa, the Dead Sea in the Middle Sea, the Greenland Sea, Great Coral Reef of Australia and the sea around Yeosu’s Geomoon Island. In the video, soft voices of women divers from Geomoon Island, along with whistling of boats and gentle sounds of ocean waves fade away when a sudden surge of waves of the Capri Sea fills up the screen. Images of young surfers and the splashing sound of the Hawaiian Sea make the viewers wonder whether they are walking around Yeosu or lying around on the Hawaiian beach. The salt-laden Dead Sea and the attractive emerald hue of Australian Great Coral Reef draw great interest from the visitors as well. All these images are part of a movie titled “The story of seven seas dedicated to Shinjike Yeo Mermaid” by a world-renowned French movie director Charles de Meaux. The movie is specially filmed for the Yeosu Expo and is aired every hour or two at EDG. Ocean wave sounds were collected and recorded from the seven seas and adorned the movie with a stereo sound on a 218-meter long screen, inviting audiences to the excitement of grand ocean experience. The director said that the inspiration for the movie came out of respect for the mermaids in the legend of Geomoon Island which, unlike their Western counterparts that take the lives of sailors away, help them in their voyage, and that he was able to see the future in which humans and nature peacefully coexist with one another. “The story of seven seas dedicated to Shinjike Yeo Mermaid” is aired every hour or two, seven times a day at EDG, and is free for viewing for anyone with admission to the Expo. The Expo Digital Gallery, where the movie is being displayed, is a 415-meter long, 21-meter wide area which links up the Main Gate and Gate 3 (near KTX station). The EDG, furnished with a 218-meter long, 30-meter wide large LED screen of a mega resolution (6.45 million pixels), invites visitors to a variety of video contents and cultural performances displayed on the world’s widest sea in the air.
