The artist becomes a hybrid cyborg lifeform that is composer, performer and the source of an intricate universe of sound that elaborates in coexistence with the variations in the audience. The artist will move freely through the performance space using a choreographic script that responds to the presence of visitors, following a sonic pathway and narrative that transitions between physical Korean locations, virtual worlds and speculative soundscapes. Combined with the artist's accentuated movements, this 15 minute site-specific performance, co-created with the audience, will take visitors on an emotive journey through Koreas transitioning physical and virutal landscapes that explores new forms of coexistence of hybrid humanity with a rapidly changing set of worlds.
