AT Lab Presents Its Public Media Project, “Mirrored Uri”

From 25 January to 30 March at the KF XR Gallery, the Art & Technology Lab (AT Lab) in collaboration with the Korea Foundation (KF) exhibits their public media project, “Mirrored Uri.” The project began in an academic-industrial cooperation class at K-Arts. The exhibit contains content created by the students in different major programs across design, film, and multimedia which display the contemporary K-culture reflected in social environment, language, relationship, and food culture through immersive media.

Before the media wall, the viewer finds a reflection of the self at the same time as the unfolding of stories put on display. Assimilating how language reflects human life and social structures, the students talked about how they perceive contemporary Korean culture in the language of immersive media. Through the light particles interacting with them, the viewers are led to experience a new dimension of reality blended with the virtual and the real while synchronizing with the world of work. The project aims to guide the viewers to discover the extended “us (uri)” in a new light.

The AT Lab plans to continue to provide support to students in content production adopting cutting-edge technology through academic-industrial classes. Adjunct Professor Shin Mideum of the Department of Multimedia who directed the event said, “It was a surprising experience to witness that the students in different majors and with different interests reveal their own colors as they work together on a single project.”
