Artist Gijeong Goo’s <Macro Scenes> focuses on the relationships between man, nature, and technology. This time, he utilized 65”, 77”, and 88” 8K OLED displays to express optical illusions of collected images and objects placed in both virtual and actual reality. By digitally generating images of leaves, soil, moss, and other easily identifiable elements in our surroundings, he has created a space where virtuality and reality are indistinguishable. The portrayal of nature through OLED’s life-like colors makes the visitors feel as though they have been transported to the middle of a lush forest.

Breaking out of conventional passivity, artist Yehwan Song is on a journey to create a new web-mobile environment. <Upload Type Grinding Evaporator>, her new creative endeavor, showcases a face displayed on a large screen looking out toward the exhibition, dissolving and regenerating repeatedly in augmented reality to depict the characteristics of the digital environment in a witty way. This artwork utilizes a 77” OLED and a 48” art frame, creating a multi-layered space in which the face in the screen, the camera capturing the AR marker, and the perspectives of visitors who view the artwork overlap to blend augmented reality and virtual reality.

Studio AR+ECH has been exploring how technology replicates and alters human experiences, and they have presented <Show Me Your Memories> that abstractly expresses LG Display employees’ precious memories and experiences through AI. This artwork contains the memories and illusions of “the color that inspires you” and “the city experience that inspired you most,” dissolving and reappearing repeatedly on five Transparent OLED screens. These moving images express the senses and experiences of memories in a space much like a house of mirrors.

Yaloo’s <TTEUL of KKOT GAM GWAN> showcases unique creature-like representations that appear to float through zero-gravity on Transparent OLED screens, creating a simulated alternate ecosystem by restructuring time and space. This artwork expresses mythology, science fiction, deep-sea creatures, and an imagined future ecosystem on 55” Transparent OLEDs and a large 77” OLED. The two Transparent OLEDs and the 77” OLED are installed vertically as though floating on air, representing doors that lead to the artist’s imaginary world. As visitors are entranced by the eerie yet beautiful sea slugs and the Gilt-Bronze Incense Burnerㅡan artifact of the culturally rich Baekje Dynastyㅡthey are led to the artist’s imagination of a city ecosystem where humans and non-humans co-exist.

Jonathan Monaghan’s <Crown Dream> utilizes three 55” Transparent OLEDs, displaying humanity’s idealized version of their daily lives in the most dramatic way. In a space adorned with crowns designed in an intricate architectural style, his artwork humorously depicts the underbelly of the values of digital technology and capitalism. Each screen displays robots working out in aesthetic and sleek motions while also making it reminiscent of a comical video game.
