Since May 12 to August 12, 2012, each visitor to the International Expo Yeosu will have the chance to participate in an incredible sight and a unique experience, the BIG-O!
Both the icon of this event, majestic architecture and a multimedia show, the French company ECA2 shiws a world first with the largest curtain of water ever built! the breathtaking "Cascade Screen"® !
ECA2’s team designed the O as a mysterious object that could have emerged from
the Ocean itself. It glints in the sunlight like a jewel over the lagoon.
Modern materials such as concrete and steel are harmoniously
combined to lend the structure an almost organic appearance.
“BIG-O”, Icon of the Yeosu Expo Site:
By day: a giant sculpture that will remain after the Expo as a symbolic landmark.
By night: the centrepiece of a unique show that embraces the Expo’s themes.
Our dedicated show control system synchronizes hundreds of special effects, creating an immersive show that plunges the audience into the heart of a sensory narrative.
• WATER DESIGN: 24 moving water canons (360°); the biggest and tallest water curtain in the world (45m high) and more than hundreds of water jets...
• SPECIAL EFFECTS: 24 flame generators; hundreds of mist nozzles; 5 lasers.
• LIGHT DESIGN & IMAGES: 58 moving heads (1 500W) in weatherproof casing, 6 video projectors (35 000 lumens).
