Artlink Gallery
3F, 22 Samcheong-ro, Jongno District, Seoul
Artlink Gallery explores the origins and contemporary proliferation of digital art, examining the circulation of digital images within the institutional and market frameworks that shape their value. Since its establishment in 2003, Artlink has introduced international artists and, in this showcase, proposes a media-based connection between Nam June Paik and Seo Hyojung.Nam June Paik’s Neon TV series receives live broadcast signals rather than stored footage, constructing its screen through the interference and noise of light, lines, and dots. In doing so, it expands art from a completed image into a process of chance and flow. This media philosophy continues in Seo Hyojung’s Okchundang: Rotational Accumulations, in which the artist simplifies the form of traditional sweets into algorithms and codes that generate endlessly variable images through rules of rotation and accumulation, revealing an unpredictable visual order born from human–machine collaboration.Through this, Artlink illuminates how digital art, at the intersection of signals and codes, material and algorithm, expands and becomes recontextualized across both its historical origins and contemporary practice.
