WET(R) Pushes The Boundaries of Water and Light at Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea
YEOSU, Korea, May 11, 2012 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

        - Creators of the World Famous Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas 
     Once Again Eclipse our Imaginations, Delivering an Iconic Centerpiece 
                 for the International Exposition Yeosu Korea 2012

     WET, the California-based creator of magical water features and community 
experiences through nature's elements, debuts the world's most technologically 
advanced floating water fountain in the ocean at the International Exposition 
Yeosu Korea 2012. This is a one-of-a-kind feature set in a natural coastal 
basin that will provide a never before seen water sensation for international 
audiences - a unique celebration of water and light that transcends language 
barriers and cultural differences. 

     From the engineering innovation to the design versatility that allows 
choreographed performances to create multiple experiences for different times 
of day and different contexts - the cumulative effect allows the Expo's 
hundreds of thousands of visitors from 100 countries to experience the ocean in 
new and profound ways. After a day's performances draw to an end with the 
setting of the sun, audiences will experience an entirely new thrill as WET's 
proprietary Living Screen(TM) sets off aquatic fireworks in the night sky. 
Riptides of jellyfish morph and spin in kinetic abstraction and seaweed dances 
with the tides, all seamlessly blending ocean and sky in a breathtaking display 
of technological achievement and artistic expression.

     Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea's mission is to raise awareness for the value and 
function of the ocean and coast and to recognize the need for global 
cooperation in the marine sector. The Yeosu Expo site has the geographical edge 
that comes from being adjacent to the ocean, and thus, is ideal for realizing 
the Expo theme, "The Living Ocean and Coast." The site overlooks Hallyeosudo 
Marine National Park and Odong Island, and is surrounded by 317 jewel-like 
islets, having the perfect natural conditions to make the Expo's theme come 
alive.

     After serving as the iconic centerpiece of the Expo, the feature will 
remain open to the public, continuing to attract visitors and tenants by 
providing remarkable, emotional, and magical experiences, which will make Yeosu 
the must-visit destination in Korea.
