Huge black flag (2024)

It's once again the era of propaganda and instigation. Each side, with their own reasons and logic, predicts a future they are convinced of. Cleverly infiltrating everyone's environment, they whisper acceptance and submission. As their flags wave more vigorously, the words of propaganda gradually forget their original meaning and float around us. The awkwardly fluttering flags soon scatter into small dots, lines, and noise.

"Huge black Flag" is a computational art video work created entirely through code, ranging from the simulation and disassembly of flags to eight procedural videos, and the computation of fluid fields and dot position calculations. It was produced solely using C++, GLSL, and Compute Shader. The video randomly selects one of the eight procedural videos to display for 2 seconds each, with a total runtime of 2 minute.

Closed-loop life system 2409 / 닫힌 생명활동 2409

Closed-loop life system is an artwork that expresses the birth and death of artificial life forms through light. By utilizing the flickering of light beads that fill the object, it seeks to illustrate simple and clear rules of lifesuch as birth, death, reproduction, and declinerevealing these endlessly repeating life activities within a kind of closed environment. Through this, it presents traces of life that autonomously emerge and vanish, suggesting an endless and unknown cycle of existence.
Extremely advanced technology can be difficult to recognize because it seamlessly integrates into human lifemuch like artificial intelligence does. As these dramatic technological advancements accelerate, we might even imagine a time when nature and life created autonomously by AI exist somewhere. At that point, it would be interesting to consider, through this work, how humans might perceive life and nature generated by machines, and whether this would be entirely negative or fearful.
What my work aims to depict is a buffer zone between the ideals of science and technology and the realities of human life. Actively incorporating technology into my creations is one way of expressing this. Since art embodies as many values and perspectives as there are creators and viewers, I hope my works will function as independent art pieces that embody technology and exist fully in their own right.
