Synopsis

This project is based on the poetry of Lee Sang (ÀÌ»ó, 1910-1937), a Korean avant-garde literary writer, and a Dutch poet Paul van Ostaijen(1896-1928). The text data extracted based on specific information in the poetry is converted into image data and then back into sound, by the Korean artist Soyun Park and the Dutch artist Vera van de Seyp in collaboration with A.I. It is a multidisciplinary art project in which literature (text), music (sound), and art (image) are reconstructed through generation and artificial intelligence. This project aims to create a duet of harmony that transcends countries and generations with technology.

PARK Soyun

Soyun Park is a Korean media artist whose work centers on themes of communication, technology, and the human experience in digital spaces. Through interactive installations and immersive media, she explores how digital interfaces shape, distort, or enhance our interactions and perceptions. Park's piece, Sorry, Please say that again, examines the nuances of miscommunication and the fragmentation that can occur between virtual and physical realities. Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, where she encourages viewers to engage critically with the ways technology mediates social dynamics and personal connections. By creating spaces where technology and human interaction intersect, Park's art invites audiences to reflect on the complexities and limitations of communication in our increasingly digital world.

Encountering the Virtual and the Real:

A Beginner's Guide to XR

´Ý±â¹öư

Unlike simply watching a screen, XR allows you to step into the story space through VR devices. You may become the protagonist, listen to the protagonist's story as if a friend is narrating, or use controllers to move and guide the story yourself. This freedom to explore and experience the story space is what sets it apart. Discover the new face of cinema, where rapidly advancing technology and art meet and transform.

XR stands for eXtended Reality, encompassing Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). VR involves wearing a Head Mounted Display (HMD) device to immerse yourself in a completely new 3D digital space. AR overlays digital content onto the real world, easily accessible through smartphones. MR combines VR and AR, recognizing real-world objects and creating a 3D virtual space around them. XR integrates all these technologies, offering increasingly realistic virtual worlds.

You can visit the exhibition site, register on the waiting list for the desired works, and view them. Please note that waiting times may be extended if there are many visitors.

¡°DoF stands for Degree of Freedom.¡± 3DoF works allow you to view from various angles by moving your head while wearing the device. 6DoF works enable you to move freely within the space, using controllers to interact with objects in the artwork, providing a more immersive experience.

Some XR works have age restrictions. You can check the viewing age for each work on the website and on-site before viewing. However, due to the nature of VR devices, it is recommended that minors with underdeveloped visual systems avoid excessive viewing for a safe and comfortable experience.

Due to the nature of VR devices requiring individual usage, group viewing is not available. Groups must use the waiting system individually.

The running time of each work varies from 5 to 20 minutes. Please refer to the website for the running times of the works you wish to view. Viewing all the content may require a week-long visit. To avoid discomfort or motion sickness, it is recommended to take sufficient breaks between viewings.
