Artworks

Park Jongkyu transforms digital images into the world of causes. With the title "Vertical Time", he visualizes noise through images of points and lines within pixels, the smallest unit of a digital image. He shows that we can all proudly shine as a main character even when we're left out from the center of attention. In other words, the things that were abandoned just because they were judged useless or unnecessary were substituted for 'noise', and at the same time, the question of whether an artistic value exists in the excluded things was solved through his work.

 The noise in Park Jongky's work means the noise in an auditory sense and unnecessary signals in electronic communication. With the theme of noise found in digital images, he attempts to break down the general concept, questioning the criteria of necessity and unnecessity, mainstream and non-mainstream. The area was expanded to include plane works, installations, performances, and videos while dealing with his concerns, attitude and relationship with his work.
