Rhizome of the New Museum
About the Exhibition
The Seoul edition of World on a Wire featured six works by global artists in a variety of analog and digital mediums: Augmented Reality (AR), digital and practical animation, simulation, gaming, and more. Many of the works in this edition each created their own virtual space and ecosystem such as the speculative lifeforms of Tabor Robak’s “Butterfly Room: Special Edition” (2014/2021), and the generative “living” exhibition platform created by designer Yehwan Song on worldonawire.net. World on a Wire in Seoul presented works by Mariia Fedorova, JooYoung Oh, Tabor Robak, Rachel Rossin, Theo Triantafyllidis, and ZZYW (Zhenzhen Qi & Yang Wang).
About the Program
Rhizome Partnership
In 2021, Hyundai Motor and Rhizome partnered to explore the infinite possibilities arising from the convergence of art and technology. Established in 1996, Rhizome champions born-digital art and culture through commissions, exhibitions, scholarship, and digital preservation. Since 2003, Rhizome has been an affiliate in residence at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, playing an integral role in the history of contemporary art engaged with digital technologies and the internet. To date, the partnership resulted in World on a Wire, a digital and physical exhibition exploring blurring lines between the virtual and the real, and continued with 7x7 2024, a legendary art and tech program.
