Director Ark Park, founder of Sixdopamine, is an artist who explores the human condition through irony, absurdity, and sarcasm. He made his directorial debut with the short film Park Ark Story in 2018, and has since been active in Seokgwan-dong while working across New York, Paris, and Berlin.
A graduate of the Korea National University of Arts with a double major in Film Directing and Multimedia Art, Park began his journey into immersive technology with his first VR performance, Janggu in the Club, which won the Grand Prize at the 1st Korea Metaverse Competition. Since then, he has continued to develop tech-based performance works.
His VR immersive performances Ballet Metanique and Breaking the Ice were invited to Ars Electronica, garnering international attention.
Following this success, he founded Sixdopamine, a studio dedicated to delivering 'dopamine to the audience through 6DOF technology.' Under this vision, he has directed a number of AI-powered immersive productions, including Simcheong in Seongsu and 'You’stalgia.

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 15 to 90 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.
