“Decoding Korea: A Journey Through Art and Technology at Grand Palais Immersif, Paris”
As the 2024 Olympic Games approach, an exhibition titled “Decoding Korea” will open in Paris at the Grand Palais Immersif. This immersive experience will showcase the works of ten contemporary Korean artists, including a piece by Nam June Paik. The exhibition aims to explore Korea’s modern history and cultural identity through cutting-edge technologies, offering visitors a deeper understanding of the country’s rich heritage and rapid industrialization.
Featuring works such as Kwon Hayoun’s “489 Years” and Lee Yongbaek’s “NFT Museum: Pieta,” the exhibition highlights the unique blend of tradition and innovation that defines Korean art today.
