Taekwang Group Sehwa Art Museum Presents 'Gwimat-chum' Exhibition... Until Next Month 26

Exploring Human Uniqueness Differentiated from AI
Promising Writers Bae Insuk, Won Woori, Jeon Hyungsan
7 Works Submitted Including 5 New Pieces

Taekwang Group announced that it will hold the first exhibition of the Non-Algorithm Challenge, titled "Tuning the Ears," at the Sehwa Art Museum in Gwanghwamun, Seoul, from the 18th to the 26th of next month, sponsored by Heungkuk Life Insurance.

The Sehwa Art Museum planned the Non-Algorithm Challenge to explore the "humanity" differentiated from AI in the era of coexistence with artificial intelligence (AI). The Non-Algorithm Challenge is a three-part exhibition project that considers humanity from various perspectives within the existence and relationships between humans and non-humans.

The first exhibition, "Tuning the Ears," deals with the story of 'sensation,' a unique way humans process external data. It focuses particularly on 'hearing,' which converts external stimuli into sensations. Humans calculate rapidly disappearing sounds within one-thousandth of a second. Listening is a process of finding the desired signal among various sounds, and our brain autonomously interprets what it perceives to create meaning. Sensation is the process of connecting external data with consciousness to create meaning.

Artists Bae In-sook, Won Woo-ri, and Jeon Hyeong-san present works themed on 'listening' in the first and second exhibition halls of the Sehwa Art Museum. By amplifying human 'hearing,' which was difficult to experience under visual centrism, the exhibition focuses on how we sense sound and attempts to feel existence itself through this.

"Tuning the Ears" is held for a fee at the Sehwa Art Museum in the Heungkuk Life Insurance Building, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Related programs include artist talks and workshops with the three participating artists. Tickets for the exhibition can be purchased online, on the Sehwa Art Museum website, and at the on-site ticket office. On the 25th, in celebration of Culture Day, visitors can view the exhibition free of charge until 9 p.m.

Taekwang Group established the Sehwa Arts and Culture Foundation in 2009 to contribute to the popularization of culture and arts, operating the Ilju & Seonhwa Gallery and supporting domestic and international artists and exhibitions. In 2017, it expanded and opened the Sehwa Art Museum, holding permanent exhibitions on the first floor and various planned exhibitions on the third floor of the Gwanghwamun Heungkuk Life Insurance Building.
