Neuromancer
The exhibitions title is borrowed from Willam Gibsons novel ‘Neuromacer’. In his book (published in 1984) he created the concept and even the word Cyberspace, in a time before the internet. While reading it, his novel felt like one big painting full of futuristic images, visualizing this fictional world in such a specific and detailed way.
Growing up in Seoul, the city had many extreme influences on me, which I didn’t realize at that time. While reading ‘Neuromancer’ I felt quite familiar with its world, even so the atmosphere of the book was more intense. Within my resent works I’d like to reflect my impressions from this highly developed technological world and its double sides. I had the feeling of living in a world that Gibson created 30 years ago. And we really are. For instance, we are surrounded with artificiality to improve our possibility to work better, love better, eat better and relate better.
