On the 22nd of December 2020, seven artworks plug-in with Seoul data.

Wherever you are, you can turn your space into a gallery. These artworks visit your sleeping displays, dreaming of Seoul. We invite you to Plug-In City Seoul 2020, the very first experimental online group exhibition produced by RedOnion. Seven artists present artworks driven by different live data of Seoul. Some of them are inspired by Seoul’s real estate, daily bumping, yoga with solar/lunar cycle, and suicide rate and air pollution data. Some imagine the taste of data and some reminisce dreamlike Seoul.

In participation with ART MUST GO ON project funded by Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Arts Council Korea and Seoul Foundation of Arts and Culture, this exhibition goes live on plugincity.org. This exhibition is in the format of WordPress Plug-in and screensaver (Mac only) and downloadable at the site. Screensaver for Windows is coming soon so please follow us on Facebook and Instagram

I have only visited Seoul a few times, but its energy is vivid in my memory. Each scene I’ve drawn shows a different moment of travelling the city that moved me - usually featuring people working hard, and living beautiful lives - even the street cats are busy. In the artwork, small details are changing in accordance to live data of the city’s wind, rain, snow, and air quality. I haven't been to Seoul for a couple of years now, so to me, the images are stuck in a magical snow-globe, like a childhood toy that comes to life in the night. - Alice Achoo
