Today, technology is transforming the way we see and feel the world. The invisible flow of data and the judgments of artificial intelligence are redrawing our reality, while our emotions and perceptions now traverse the boundaries between the real and the virtual, encountering a new realm of sensory experience.

MetaSensing – The Sensing Space captures how technology, within this transformation, extends human senses and engages with the world in new ways. Through diverse formats such as VR works, interactive media, and AI films, the exhibition explores how technology expands our perception and approaches us as a new kind of being.

Each work offers a distinct sensory experience, following the flow of Sensing – Transforming – Reconfiguring.

Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel¡¯s The Exploding Girl VR visualizes an inner world composed of emotional fragments through virtual reality. Park Seungsoon¡¯s How to Listen to Music on the Moon and Lean Sanches¡¯ Hush Now explore the delicate emotional textures generated as AI interprets human feelings and memories. Vincent Ciciliato and Juan Arroyo¡¯s Sabia unfolds a digital ecosystem that translates the rhythms of nature into sensory experience, while Jung Yoonsoo¡¯s Crystals reveals both the materiality of perception and the beauty of technology at the intersection of light and data.

MetaSensing – The Sensing Space does not view technology merely as a tool. Instead, it perceives technology as a sensory organ – a perceptual subject that coexists with humanity. Here, visitors are not simply observers; they experience the very moments when technology and space respond to and interact with them.

In the lingering resonance of that experience, we are confronted with the question:

¡°Does technology replace our senses, or does it expand them with us?¡±

Following this question, we find ourselves standing within a new sensory ecosystem – one where humans and technology, art and science, continuously exchange signals with one another.

This exhibition is part of the ¡°AI¡¤XR-Based Science Culture Expansion Project,¡± supported by the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Creativity (KOFAC). It aims to share a journey where science and art meet to rediscover the sensory dimensions of technology. The project is funded by the Science and Technology Promotion Fund and Lottery Fund, and supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT and KOFAC, contributing to the advancement of Korea¡¯s science and technology as well as the welfare of underprivileged and marginalized communities.
