THE BLACK PAPER
The Black Paper - Collaboration Project between OLED technology and Fine Art
The Black Paper project is about an experimental design project where ‘Art’ enters into the realm of television. In October, 2018, LG released OLED display in the market, preparing official promotion of their new technology. I came up with a keyword, Black Paper and started the project with financial and technical support from LG. I suggested that the word, “TELEVISION” can be “TELL VISION”, changing its paradigm since 20’s when it first invented. During the project, I find out OLED can implemented 100% black pixels (power-free black pixel parts in the whole display), therefore, I picked the keyword “Darkness” and I borrow diverse references such as Goethe’s Faust, East Asia philosophical texts to interpret the stories of darkness. The whole project comprises of storytelling from each artist and the application of the cutting edge technology, OLED in contemporary art fields. The footage I made is about 8 minutes in total.
Collaborative Project with LG(IR, Global Promotion Division and ETC) and Seoul National University College of Fine Art(Department of Oriental Painting, Sculpture, Ceramic Craft)
