[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Sejong Center for the Performing Arts announced on the 11th that the audio-visual team Tacit Group will hold the ‘kkk Project’ at Sejong Center’s S Theater.

Tacit Group is an audio-visual art group formed in 2008. With the goal of creating new art for the 21st century, they have showcased multimedia performances, interactive installations, and algorithmic art created through computer programming.

At Sejong Center’s contemporary season 'SyncNext 22,' Tacit Group will directly explain and perform their representative works such as ‘Hunminjeongak,’ ‘Game Over,’ and ‘Morse ㅋung ㅋung.’

Although Tacit Group’s works use the same algorithms and systems, the performances themselves are improvised. Therefore, different music is created at each performance. First, ‘Hunminjeongak’ is based on the idea that Hangul is a phonetic script where each character corresponds to a single phoneme, and they developed a system where typing characters produces music. Audiences will witness the scene where chatting displayed on the stage screen transforms into lively computer music.

The audio-visual art ‘kkk Project,’ presented with advanced technology by composer Jang Jaeho and electronic musician Gajaebal (Lee Jinwon), is expected to be an excellent artistic experience especially for generations familiar with games and messenger-based text communication.

Composer Jang Jaeho explained algorithmic art by saying, "Just as a wind chime hanging under the eaves produces sound when blown by the wind, the creator makes a system like the wind chime, and that system independently generates results based on the input information."
