Digital Heritage, Now! AI With You
The Korean Cultural Centre UK is pleased to present the autumn exhibition "Digital Heritage, Now! AI With You", which showcases the beauty and significance of Korean cultural heritage through a fusion of digital data and AI-powered media art.
"Digital Heritage, Now! AI With You" offers a unique experience that re-explores and reinterprets Korean cultural heritage through artificial intelligence (AI). The exhibition highlights the deepening connection between humans and machines in this new digital era, where human emotions and AI interactions come together to create a unique harmony of feelings. ‘Mind’ by artist group “Shinseungback Kimyonghun”, features AI that analyses human emotions observed through a ceiling-mounted camera and then generates corresponding wave sounds by moving an ocean drum placed on the floor. The exhibition also brings together the enigmatic expression of the digital Pensive Buddha and the varied emotions displayed on the faces of audiences, creating an unpredictable sea of emotions. In addition, the exhibition features digital data of several Korean national treasures, including ‘Mongyu dowondo’ and the ‘Annals of the Joseon Dynasty,’ as well as Korean cultural heritage items housed in institutions in the UK.
The exhibition offers a unique perspective on the profound history and artistic value of Korean cultural heritage, illuminating its significance in a new light.
