Inside the Rubik’s Cube — Jee Youn Kim (KR)
The project begins with an object so that audiences’ control of the cube in the real world can react to the virtual world in the cube. The virtual space can be reached more easily by our hands by connecting the actual object with the virtual inside, enabling us to experience the coexistence and harmony of a flat and cubic object.

Digital Trypanosomiasis — Hayne Park (KR)
The project is an archival and narrative digital work based on humanistic research. Trypanosomiasis is a disease caused by parasitic protozoan trypanosomes of the genus Trypanosoma, which can make a patient die from sleeping. It starts with the surface of glass moving like Trypanosoma and reflects living things, surfaces, sleep, and death.

Persona Processing — Persona-L (KR)
Persona Processing is a project that expands private stories to social discourses. It is a struggle to keep the value and meaning of personal works that may be regarded as something worthless and unimportant at a time when everyone can take a photo. In private records, three women directors have questioned how personal records can construct the world of their documentary video and how it is to be assessed in an environment based on a new cultural technology.

Duo Dance with One Body XYZ Duet — Teri Seo (KR)
Duo Dance with One Body XYZ Duet considers double melodies in Inventionen composed by Johann Sebastian Bach as two dancers’ bodies. Through digital editing, one dancer can perform two choreographies. There are three viewpoints and stages in the digital and virtual place so audiences can enjoy a different choreography on each stage. This processing can attempt to make one piece of work by choreography alone.
