Work Title: “WAVE” with Anamorphic illusion
Artist: D’strict, South Korea
The LED display located in COEX K-pop square simulates the motion of a wave through virtual reality. The design took about three months to develop; the display screen size is superb and can fit four basketball courts. This interaction of waves splashing down is made using an anamorphic illusion through the curved screen. When we begin to design 3-dimensionally, we also need to consider all x, y, and z planes and how the shapes/forms of design construct through those planes. In this work, the plane is transformed into a curved surface, allowing visual illusion as well as depth. Because of its color and lively motion, the plaza is filled with energy and enthusiasm for people to learn more about the artwork. Lee Sung-ho, CEO of d’strict explained: “We plan to get motives from nature moving forward so people can also experience a healing within the city.”
