Taekwang Group Sehwa Art Museum Presents 'Non-Algorithm Challenge' Exhibition Focusing on Humanity

Final Exhibition of the 3-Part Project... Until April 28

Taekwang Group's Sehwa Art Museum will hold the final exhibition of the 'Non-Algorithm Challenge' trilogy project from the 30th to April 28.

At this exhibition, Sehwa Art Museum will simultaneously present the 2nd and 3rd parts of the 'Non-Algorithm Challenge' project. The 1st part, titled 'Ear Fitting,' was held last October.

The 2nd part, 'The Deepest is the Skin,' focuses on the human body. It emphasizes that humans' self-recognition of their bodies is the starting point of self-awareness, which leads to free will. Artists Min Chan-wook, Park Kwan-woo, and Jung Chan-min explore the boundary between the real world and digital space, prompting viewers to contemplate what it means to be 'alive.'

The 3rd part, '4 Degrees Celsius,' deals with human memory. The collective group SEOM:(Seom:), Oh Myo-cho, and Tae Kim address various questions humans face within the contradictory nature of memory. Memory is expressed as a symbol of humanity and new possibilities because it cannot be imitated by artificial intelligence nor easily algorithmized. The exhibition connects 'sensation,' '(non)human,' and 'future' with memory, seeking answers about life inside and outside artificial worlds.

Sehwa Art Museum has also prepared 'Conversations with the Artists' in March to help visitors gain a broader understanding of the exhibition. On March 9, the artists of 'The Deepest is the Skin' will meet the audience, followed by the artists of '4 Degrees Celsius' on the 16th.

There will also be events offering free admission to the exhibition. Every Thursday during lunchtime (for office workers) and on the last Wednesday of each month, admission is free. Detailed information such as operating hours can be found on the Sehwa Art Museum website and Instagram account.
