Based on engineering theories and a dystopian worldview, the artist Jung Seung combines art and technology to pose questions regarding the nature of human beings and life. He especially talks about how the mass production system in a capitalist society affects people and how it endangers human dignity.
Since 2016, the artist has been conducting visual experimental projects centered on the subjects of life, data, and outer space. Recently, Jung has been contemplating and researching the relationship between human life and the digital world. Jung’s solo exhibition at Space XX will be the first to showcase the results of his recent research.
Jung has held solo exhibitions at Alternative Space LOOP (Seoul, 2021), Amado Art Space (Seoul, 2019), Asia Culture Center, Creators in Lab (Gwangju, 2018), and AKI Gallery (Taipei, 2017).
