Jeonnam Information & Culture Industry Promotion Agency Presents Media Art Depicting the Life of Jeong Yak-yong

Awarded Plaque of Appreciation in Realistic Content Exhibition Planning and Management Division

The Jeonnam Information & Culture Industry Promotion Agency announced on the 21st that it showcased media art content themed on "The Life of Jeong Yak-yong" at the opening ceremony of the Gangjin Dasan Museum special exhibition.

This content is being developed as part of the "2023 Jeonnam Cultural Industry Content Development Support Project," organized by the Promotion Agency with support from Jeollanam-do, and is scheduled to be officially completed and opened to visitors in December.

Media art installed in the immersive content hall within the Dasan Museum.

The media art content exhibition hall consists of the ▲Root Path Experience Zone and the ▲Immersive Content Experience Hall.

The Root Path Experience Zone is an experiential content aesthetically expressing the root paths of cedar and pine trees along the path to Dasan Chodang. Using interactive technology, it depicts the connection of the light of life when participants walk or touch the roots.

The Immersive Content Experience Hall is designed as a space where visitors can experience Dasan’s life and spirit through projection mapping techniques, featuring themes such as Choui Seonsa’s painting of Dasan Chodang and the Eight Views of Dasan.

Notably, at this opening ceremony, the Promotion Agency was honored with a plaque of appreciation from Gangjin County in recognition of its contributions to project planning and management.

Lee In-yong, Director of the Promotion Agency, stated, “By integrating Jeong Yak-yong’s works and life with advanced technology to build immersive content, we aim to provide cultural enjoyment opportunities to tourists visiting the Dasan Museum. We plan to continue contributing to the revitalization of Jeonnam tourism through the discovery and digitalization of local cultural content.”

Meanwhile, the special exhibition at the Dasan Museum, held under the theme "Camellias Fall, Spring Comes," moves away from focusing solely on Jeong Yak-yong’s academic achievements to introduce his human side, including his longing and love for his family.

The special exhibition will run from the opening ceremony on November 15 until March 10 of next year.
