ADDENDUM

The news release for the WHALE exhibit, which ran from July 16 to July 26, 2021 on Times Square, describes more about the design teams behind the exhibit:

Appearing on SILVERCAST [Media’s] 30,000 sq. ft. iconic Times Square digital spectacular [screen] known as "Big Kahuna" will be a media art execution titled WHALE. Illuminating the pedestrian plaza, the public media art display will transform the enormous screen into a hyper-realistic, undulating ocean environment occupied by a massive blue whale. The whale is made of water and will move freely and harmoniously among the waves. [...] WHALE can be seen for 60 seconds every half hour starting at 12 p.m. each day and ending at midnight. [...] SILVERCAST partnered with Seoul-based digital design company d'strict to showcase WHALE to the public. The creator of WHALE is a'strict, a media artist unit formed by d'strict. With a heightened commitment to the social functions of art, a'strict designed the project with the objective of creating spaces for rest and relaxation for a wide global audience.
