The Procession: Through the Gates
Minds Rising, Spirits Tuning

The 13th Gwangju Biennale 2021

떠오르는 마음 맞이하는 영혼
제 13회 광주비엔날레

A machine-guided procession on the nature of violence, collective movement, resilience, and cathartic release.

Haptic feedback motion sensors, as well as the auditory and visual cues, are used to guide the procession through the four distinct states: synchronization, determination, adaptation, and transformation.
