Seoul Light DDP 2023 Autumn 'Digital Nature'
Seoul Light DDP 2023 (2023. 8. 31 ~ 2023. 9. 10) started from the question 'Can real nature that has existed since the beginning of time coexist with technological nature created by humans?' Seoul Light DDP seeks to discover the 'sense of coexistence' by 'lights (projections)' that existed before anything else in the world and and re-materialized by science and technology.

This new work of Migueul Chevalier was created in the process of transforming his imaginative concepts into the digital world.
Miguel Chevalier
Miguel Chevalier is a globally renowned artist acclaimed as a pioneer in virtual and digital art. From the 1980s, he delved into the study of traditional artworks through digital technology, creating and experimenting with new visual languages. Chevalier’s works predominantly explore the realm of “nature.” He poetically and metaphorically approaches the process of coexistence and enrichment between nature and artificial elements in the modern days.

Acher uses technology to connect people through art and to awaken them on climate changes and environmental concerns. He uses the city as a canvas to create events and situations that generate powerful experiences for people.
