Kimchi and Chips transcend the boundaries of science, technology, and art through large-scale installation works, exploring various themes encountered by contemporary society. In this exhibition, the collective continues investigating the interaction between technology and art using elements such as code, electronic machinery, and optical systems. The newly installed piece Optical Rail in P1 reveals a new neuroscientific spectacle, reinterpreting reality through visual elements. REWORLD, presented in P2, explores and expands upon themes set within the context of an optical rail constrained by a single perspective.
Kimchi and Chips is a media artist collective founded in 2009 by Mimi Son from South Korea, majoring in digital design, and Elliot Woods from the United Kingdom, majoring in physics. They have participated in numerous exhibitions, including the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism (2023), the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul (2021), and the Jeju Museum of Art (2016).
