Colourful video projections

Experience ancient and modern tradition in a groundbreaking, interactive way, as cutting-edge artificial intelligence brings Korea’s rich cultural heritage to life.

The exhibition offers light projections and sensory experiences through personalised AI experiences and interactive artworks. Visitors explore a colourful and vibrant virtual Korean city, and directly engage with AI’s creative interpretations of Korean traditional and contemporary culture.

Hello!

Visitors begin their interaction with Hello, Delight! by sending their chosen images to the artwork. The installation then develops a unique connection with each visitor, dynamically forming a new visual response based on the visitor’s imagery.

The Circulating City

Dive into the pulsating visuals of a digital metropolis. Like cosmic dancers, data swirls and mingles, choreographed by human whispers and society. AI, takes the role of conductor, and orchestrates this symphony of bytes, wisdom, and revolutionary ideas.

Cosmic Journeys

Explore personalised star maps based on ancient Korean constellations, and as you interact with this artwork, your unique celestial journey comes to life.

Goblins, monsters, and household deities emerge as central characters in stories unfolding in Borough Market and travelling through the night streets of Piccadilly Circus.

Liminal
