“Random Access Project 3.0” Poster ©Nam June Paik Art Center

From August 15 to December 3, Nam June Paik Art Center will present Random Access Project 3.0, featuring exhibitions and performances by artists Jaei Hyuk Ra, JSHan, Oro Minkyung, WONWOORI, Cho Hoyoung, and GRAYCODE, jiiiiin. The exhibition will be held in a relay format in various spaces of Nam June Paik Art Center, including the museum shop, cafeteria, exhibition rooms, and Random Access Hall, according to the schedule of each artist’s performance and exhibition. (* Please find the schedule below.)

The ‘Random Access Project’ is based on the work of the same name that Nam June Paik presented in his first solo exhibition, Exposition of Music—Electronic Television (1963). So this project aims to introduce emerging artists who share the spirit of Paik’s art, using the keywords of improvisation, indeterminacy, interaction, and participation in his works.

First up is Jaei Hyuk Ra’s exhibition A Few Inches from Me, which will be on view from August 15 to September 10 at the museum shop and cafeteria. The sound works in this exhibition change the volume depending on the surrounding noise. Through these works, which are played in everyday spaces, Ra experiments with the interaction that can occur between a composer and an audience.
