LIVE PARK provided a journey and story through holograms, mega-sized media façade walls, 360-degree interactive theater and kinetic sculpture. d’strict is also behind numerous highly acclaimed public art projects, including “WAVE” at K-Pop Square in Seoul and “Waterfall-NYC” and “Whale #2″ in New York City’s Times Square.
