An unbelievable 3D art installation that shows a wave crashing around inside what appears like a glass box has been delighting – and also most likely scary – people that walk past a structure in South Korea. Examine it out:
If you really did not know far better, you might vouch that the water slamming about in a large box over a commercial structure in Seoul’s well-known Gangnam district is going to slosh right over into the street as well as cause outright mayhem.
