The 41 meter high landmark, has been directly associated with the Yeosu city and is currently rated as the number one attraction or show to visit. With an impressive attendance of over 100,000 people weekly, having endured the elements of inclement weather up to 3 hours in the cue to be able to witness this performance, this show has became point of unity for the audience. It is now a reference point for people from all walks of life, with different backgrounds and age group demographics. This installation has clearly broken new grounds in the events industry and more recently the government of Yeosu has requested that the show now operates twice daily, due to the great feedback received by the viewers.
BIG-O, impressively stands alone as an iconic giant sculpture gleaming under the sun during the day however it transforms into an immersive show by night that plunges the audience into the heart of a multi sensory narrative. This narrative, which acts as a metaphoric vehicle, transports the people through a visual journey with innovative, breathtaking and original multimedia effects. BIG-O has broken new grounds in show technology with new research and development conducted for the largest sea water curtain ever attempted in a multimedia show. Countless hours went into the design, testing and fabrication of the new pressurized water nozzles and custom made housings and show technical structures, that gave the ECA2 engineers the ability to use various existing show elements like lighting, flames, lasers, video projections and incorporate them on to a fixed structure, in a way never seen or attempted before anywhere in the world.
