Known for their innovative hybridisation of art, design, and technology, d’strict creatively transforms spaces into immersive and visually striking artworks. Having opened the world’s first 4D theme park called “Live Park” in 2011, d’strict became one of the pioneers of user experience-based art technology.

In April this year, their public media art installation, WAVE, at the SMTown Coex Artium in Gangnam, went viral for its alluring illusion of a crashing wave. 


In the same space last month, d’strict created yet another eye-catching experience for passers-by with their 2nd public media art installation, GIANT TOY, centred on 6 different bucket lists packaged in a large toy box.

art has also appeared in other spaces such as Nexen UniverCity’s lobby and Gwangmyeong Cave Theme Park
