Artist Statement:
The project 동동 (憧憧, Dong-Dong) embodies the excitement of anticipation, focusing on the themes of “Belonging” and “Trust,” which are fundamental to human connection. It highlights the historical symbolism of flowers in representing emotions and aims to promote global citizenship through togetherness and engagement. Utilizing artificial intelligence, the project features generative flowers that respond to participants’ movements in real time, enhancing emotional connections. It creates a multi-sensory graphic experience that combines sound, virtual floral aesthetics, and human interaction. This innovative initiative merges contemporary art with technology to foster a rich mixed-reality environment centered around the concept of 동동 (憧憧, Dong-Dong). |
