Light and shadow. Aesthetics and harmony felt by contrasting contrasts

Light and darkness, like two sides of a coin, are interrelationships that exist beyond complementary levels. The aesthetic sense found in the coexistence of light and shadow unfolds a nuance beyond our imagination. We thought that with this contrasting contrast, we could use the upcoming meaning and dramatic aesthetic to design with the addition of artistic elements.
Nuance is a dictionary meaning of "feel or impression from subtle differences such as tone, brightness, saturation, and tone," and the purpose of this theme exhibition hall is to "discover newness" by combining "digital convergence" thoughts and methods. In addition, we prepared it so that we could start from imagination by showing not only the results but also the materials and development process of discovering them.
Material Concept of
Light with Shadow
Light is the source of all energy. And the law of coexistence, like the two sides of a coin, only recognizes light when there is darkness. The decisive evidence of this coexistence is the shadow. Although they are contradictory, we studied the beginnings of the process and result of NEW.ance, which can be new and beautiful by incorporating digital into a new nuance with aesthetics and harmony extracted from the contrast that is formed by creating each other's existence.
Through in-depth experiments on the correlation between light energy and shadows, the following six characteristics were categorized and nuanced experiments were conducted on the corresponding aesthetic sensations.
1. Light transmission / 2. Light exposure / 3. Light perception / 4. Light depth and direction / 5. Light diffusion / 6. Light reflection
Through the experimental extraction of these correlations, we share the principles and ideas of aesthetics to enrich our daily lives.

Stages of Light and Time 1.
One day, life (Just 1 Day)
Media artwork by media artist Paul C.(Director Cho Hong rai's series) 1.
He has been working on a series of works that add temporal narrative to a surreal expression that mixes the real and the unreal. By adding unreal shadow images to real objects and spaces, a subtle surreal scene was realized with the façade complex technology. In the relationship between light and shadow that pours through the window, it calmly depicts the beginning of a day that is like a person's life or life.

Stage of light and time 2.
Recall (Memory)
Media artwork by media artist Paul C.(Director Cho Hong rai's series) 2.
"Two people see the same thing but have different memories." Looking at the shadows of the fabrics reflected in the continuous rotation looking at each other as if they were meeting over the window or not, they were actually meeting continuously. It is a first-person media that sits on a chair and looks at the window as if recalling the old days, and when you look at it from behind after experiencing it in the chair, you can finally see the "relationship" between the image (my memory) and the shadow (the other's memory). It was designed as a complex structure through the layer phenomenon of images and real objects in the sense of space in the window.

Nuance,
Baptism of Light
Paul C. (Cho Hong rai)
Media artwork by media artist Paul C.(Director Cho Hong rai's series) 3.
Light accompanies space and is also space itself.
As a factor that affects the role of the device that draws in light and the shape of the room, it has a relationship with light and creates a 'baptism of light' with PDLC material to give the space characteristics. Let's reflect on the leisure of life in the 'Bitmong' space that captures the ever-changing light and radiates inspiration through dynamic shadow movement.

Cosmos,
Light with Shadow Resembling the Universe
Artwork by Guest Attica, Jeong Park (Director, Jeong Park Studio)
Cosmos is a mobile and an object that expands through the elements of points and lines.
Through the element of symbiosis of light and shadow, he does not limit himself to the work, but interprets and creates the space called the universe that extends beyond the work.
This is a microcosm, a part of the universe that the artist thinks.

Space Facing the Light
Media artwork by media artist Paul C. (Director Cho Hong rai's series) 4.
It provides a 'space as a phenomenon' where you can feel the division of space anew only by blending and gradation of different lights by combining the planes of the sculpture that are burning with light.
In addition, the artist embodies beauty through the formative balance of the metaphor of 'stairs and windows' to the surface area of life of 'rising and falling'.

Light and Shadow of
Human History Contrast
Media artwork by media artist Paul C.(Director Cho Hong rai's series) 5.
The contrast of light and darkness, like two sides of a coin, depicts the light and darkness in our lives, the joys and sorrows of human history. If you follow the fragments of the joys and sorrows that are revealed in the light and dark, you can meet the inner side of human affairs that has reached the level of indifference. The video for each part of cow, which has been with human history for the longest time, metaphorically expresses the part of human emotion.
