Navigating diverse spectrums and experiences, the exhibition delved into the personal journeys of these artists as they explored the essence of individual existence in our evolving society. The exhibition, which spanned painting, interactive media art, and sculpture, probed into personal solitude, offering a thoughtful examination and tracing pathways towards collective togetherness.

ARTISTS
Bosul Kim – Media Art
Seungho Jeong – Mixed Media
Bosul Kim is a media artist experimenting at the intersection of art and technology. Based in Seoul, her work is inspired by the idea of organic connectivity between humans and nature, rooting from eastern philosophies and imaginations. Her work is created with AI, AR/XR, and Motion Capture in the metaverse, which allows the audience to experience a meditative alternative reality within the digital realm.
The exhibition showcased her unique vision of the post-human environment, presenting a near-future world that merges mythic imagination with scientific data. Audiences immersed themselves in a surreal environment where the past and future, humans and non-humans, nature and life are intricately interconnected.
Seungho Jeong, having worked as a stage designer for 30 years, witnessed the painstakingly crafted stage sets being discarded after performances. This led him to collect discarded items, infusing them with new meaning to create his own unique works of art. He integrates contemporary digital technologies to offer audiences a fresh experience of his artwork and provide a more meaningful encounter with his creations.
Building upon this frame box-based artwork, transcending the boundaries between sculpture and painting, he presented pieces that vividly depict various facets of human existence, offering a glimpse into solitude and contemplation. Through his creations, audiences explored the intricacies of the human condition, as he navigates the intersection of traditional and contemporary art.
