Aegis Asset Management Holds Screening of Contest Winners on Centerfield Media Wall

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Aegis Asset Management announced on the 15th that it held a screening of the award-winning works of the ‘Centerfield Media Wall Video Content Contest’ at Centerfield in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

This event was hosted by Aegis Asset Management and supported by the National Pension Service. The winning works will be screened on two media walls located in the lobbies on the first floors of the two Centerfield buildings.

Previously, Aegis Asset Management held this contest to support cultural activities and discover young and creative media art works by students in related departments. The honors went to artist No Seung-gwan, artist Tian, and the WENT team. Each winner (team) was awarded a prize of 10 million KRW.

No Seung-gwan’s work, ‘Play+Meditate,’ adds movement to the aesthetic form of Hangul and harmonizes it with the architecture. No said, "In the middle of Gangnam, I expressed the thoughts of people busily coming and going through the lobby turning into words that repeatedly assemble and disassemble," adding, "I wanted to offer an experience of finding meaning in words created from seemingly meaningless movements."

Artist Tian won with the work ‘Forest in this city, Island in this city,’ which offers an experience of being in a forest or a remote island even within the city. Tian said, "I aimed to realize stories of our history starting from the past, regional places, and life in nature through contemporary media art," and added, "Based on the worldview of ‘Ilwol Obongdo,’ a representative work from the Joseon Dynasty, it reflects the direction of our daily cyclical lives in the metaverse era."

The WENT team received high praise for their work ‘Secret 1.5 Floor, Dream Bus Stop,’ inspired by the structure of the Centerfield media wall.

An official from Aegis Asset Management said, "This contest will be held annually with various themes and content," adding, "We aim to be a platform where new artists and media-related students can realize fresh ideas."
