About

Hosted at the MMCA in Seoul from July 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026, 'Digital Landscapes and Synthetic Nature' explores the evolving intersection of technology and the environment. This exhibition showcases immersive, interactive installations where AI-generated projections engage directly with physical organic elements. By bridging the gap between hardware and biology, the works invite visitors to experience nature through a computational lens. At its core, the exhibition investigates the implications of data harvesting as a method for mimicking the natural world. It poses critical questions about the ethics of environmental preservation and the shifting role of the human creator. As we navigate a world increasingly dominated by simulated digital ecosystems and machine-learning aesthetics, this collection encourages a reflection on our legacy in the digital age.
