Whale #2
Public art

‘Whale #2’ is public art that transforms the 1,400-square-meter billboard screen in New York's Times Square into a 3-dimensional undulating ocean environment occupied by a whale freely riding the waves. It creates a hyperrealistic scene where an enormous whale rendered in water element swims and blends into the waves within a confined space. By presenting engrossing art to the public in the midst of involuntary exposure to a myriad of advertising and light pollution, the work suggests a moment of freedom from a sleepless city.

“Whale #2”是一项公共艺术，它将时代广场 1,400 平方米的广告屏幕变成了一片波澜起伏的 3 D 海洋，画面中一头鲸鱼乘着海浪自由遨游。它创造了一个超现实的场景，一头巨大的鲸鱼在水元素的渲染下，在一个有限的空间内游动，消失于海浪之中。在充斥着无数广告和光污染的环境下，这项公共艺术吸引了人们的注意，向公众展现了生活在不眠之城的人们对自由的向往。

iF GOLD STATEMENT
The Whale is a hyper-realistic ocean wave in the form of a giant blue whale that was looped live in Times Square. This installation redefines the category of digital art by creating a format that forms a blueprint for future digital narrative experiences in public spaces. What was once projected as the future of digital advertising in science fiction movies has become a reality.
