[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Wysiwyg Studio (Wysiwyg) announced on the 7th that it successfully directed the 'Iksan Mireuksaji Media Art Show,' hosted by Iksan City, Jeollabuk-do, and organized by the 'Jeollabuk-do Content Convergence Promotion Agency.' At the opening ceremony on the 3rd, Wysiwyg directed the world's first advanced media art show combining virtual and reality at the Iksan Mireuksaji, a World Cultural Heritage site. A projection mapping show will be held for the next month.

This media art show was planned and directed by Wysiwyg in collaboration with 'Moazio,' a content company in the Jeonbuk region. The event and operation were handled by 'Jeonju MBC,' and it is evaluated as an event that satisfies both corporate coexistence and the development of local culture.

The 'projection mapping' content projected onto two towers over 20 meters high, showcased at the opening ceremony, utilized Wysiwyg's four ultra-large projectors along with advanced ICT technology. In particular, the drone show performed with 250 drones is significant as the first large-scale drone show held at a cultural heritage site.

Wysiwyg created a magnificent spectacle of the three Mireuk Buddhas rising using numerous drones, vividly recreating the birth legend of the Mireuksaji site. Especially, the wooden pagoda lost in the center was realized with drones, receiving high praise from many viewers for its overwhelming visual beauty. Industry insiders and reporters also evaluated that it presented a vision of the past, present, and future of Mireuksaji.

A Wysiwyg official said, "Despite being an ultra-large art show, the Mireuksaji Media Art Show was directed solely by Wysiwyg's own planning capabilities without recruiting famous external directors," and added, "It is symbolically meaningful that Wysiwyg was entrusted with planning and directing this project where a World Cultural Heritage site is reborn through cutting-edge technology."

He continued, "Based on the top-tier domestic video technology, Wysiwyg is diversifying its business areas from video content such as movies, dramas, and animations to new media content including performances, exhibitions, and events," and added, "Recently, at 'Gimpo XR Stage,' the nation's first permanent XR studio, we successfully held an untact XR concert of a top domestic hip-hop label, and through this Mireuksaji Media Art Show, we have proven that Wysiwyg's planning and technological capabilities in the new media field are at the highest level."
