The Simultaneous Echoes exhibition presents works by 21st-century Korean media artists who incorporate media technologies such as digital video and interactive installations into their work. At the same time, it aims to analyze the formative language of the medium and examine how the featured artists’ works reflect the evolving views of media and contemporary Korean society. Hosted on the 30th anniversary of Nam June Paik’s satellite project Good Morning Mr. Orwell, this exhibition examines Paik’s view of media and his influence on Korean media art, with works by current young artists considered in a parallel manner to suggest discourses of Korean media art continuing in the present.
