• Chanwook Min민찬욱

  Chanwook Min is a media artist and creative technologist who explores how experience and ways of being change inside the relationship between people and technology. Drawing attention to moments and phenomena that pass unnoticed in daily life, Min builds interactive and kinetic installations, drawings, and video that invite a fresh look at the lines between human and machine, the virtual and the real.

  Humanoid Object #5

  Kinetic installation, 100 × 30 × 40cm

  Humanoid Object #5 steps away from the habit of reading the machine as an extension of the human and attends instead to the expressions and modes of existence that only a machine can generate. Through a generative principle that cannot be reduced to human standards, it regards the machine not as an imitator but as an independent generative agent.

  Between Faces

  Drawing + Generative video, dimensions variable

  Between Faces treats the face not as a fixed form but as something generated and changing between different states and media. By setting up the same face to exist differently in two environments, canvas and digital video, the work exposes the in-between territory where a face takes shape and is recognized.

• Junsoo Kim김준수

  Junsoo Kim unfolds the events of the microscopic world in front of the viewer and turns them into something that can be held. Working chiefly in metal and mechanism, Kim grounds the practice in modular construction and numerical exactness, and combines calculated motion with finely tuned light and sound to bring a sensation foreign to the real world into it.

  The Point Between 그 사이의 지점

  Kinetic art with projection mapping, 3min 30sec, 17 × 17 × 12cm

  The macroscopic and the microscopic seem to sit at opposite poles, yet at their border each brings the other into sharp relief, and together they form a certain point where the two connect. An AI-generated video built on the motif of the human eye is mapped onto a metal mechanism, showing the point where the non-living and the living touch.

• Inkang Lee이인강

  Inkang Lee explores the joining of body and technology, and has long worked on turning bodily movement into data and converting it mechanically. Having coached physical training in a gym and encountered the body’s limits first-hand, Lee builds wearable systems that record and reproduce human movement, extending those limits and probing the relationship between physicality and technology.

  Performing Suit 01 퍼포밍 수트 01

  EEG sensor, PLA, motor, wire, Raspberry Pi · Single-channel video, 3min 25sec, dimensions variable according to body size

  The mind–muscle connection is a training technique in which one pictures the movement of a muscle in order to train the body. Performing Suit 01 feeds the brainwave data of six people into a suit that moves the performer’s arms, asking whether one can take part in another person’s movement beyond one’s own body, and making visible the connection between many minds and a single body.

• Moocimu & Cho MinjeMoocimu & 조민제

  MOOCIMU is an AI visual artist who translates emotion and relationship through the human figure, structure, and materiality, taking the structures of feeling and connection apart and carrying them into images. Ceramicist Cho Minje shapes fossils out of the flow of glaze and the forms of nature, treating the deviations that arise each time between clay, temperature, and time as the starting point for the next form.

  The Living Ground 표본이 대지가 되는 순간

  Single-channel video · ceramic objects 2p, 4sec, ceramic 200 × 100 × 90(h)mm · 170 × 130 × 15(h)mm

  The work imagines the moment a ceramic ‘colony fossil’ small enough to rest on a hand expands into a whole landmass. Its porous texture becomes terrain, the ridges of the colony become structures on the horizon, and on a curved surface that bends like a planet a mermaid lies down, so that the fossil in the palm and an entire world come into view as one and the same.

• Hyewon Kim김혜원

  Hyewon Kim works in digital media art made with generative AI. Using AI as a tool for stretching the imagination, Kim builds fictional worlds and retells stories from reality through fantastical settings and images, and is drawn to the questions that are newly emerging, among them the biases of AI and the attitudes we take toward technology.

  OBJECTIFICATION

  14 lenticular prints, 18 × 18 cm each, single-channel video, 3 min

  This work addresses the objectification of women through images in which everyday objects and the female body stand in for one another. Using generative AI to artificially reshape and reassemble the body to fit the forms of objects, it reveals how the human body is handled like a material in the digital environment, processed, produced, and consumed over and over.

• DreamArchive드림 아카이브

  DREAM ARCHIVE is an archiving project that collects dreams, the most personal and incomplete of human memories, and expands them into new stories through differing interpretations. It reads dreams through a human eye, visualizes them with generative AI, and records the process by which one person’s dream meets another person’s reading and grows into a new story.

  DreamArchive: Archiving Humanity DreamArchive: 인간다움을 아카이빙하다

  AI video installation · digital web archive, 3 CRT televisions · 1 iMac · 2 headsets · 2 posters

  DREAM ARCHIVE: Archiving Humanity turns the written dreams of many people into AI-generated images and weaves them into a single video. It renders the incomplete memory of a dream in the texture of CRT screens, noise, and glitch, then gathers the audience’s own interpretations to build a new archive of dreams.
