두둥두둥, Onomatopoeia of 동동(Dong-Dong), Immersive Typography with an AI Technique, 2025
The project, 동동(憧憧), aims to foster a sense of globally engaged citizenship by promoting togetherness and collective engagement. This requires openness, resilience, harmonious coexistence, planetary awareness, and trust. Harnessing the capabilities of artificial intelligence, the project introduces generative flowers that dynamically respond to the audience's real-time movements as they engage with the letterforms of "두둥두둥." This onomatopoeia can represent the sound of 동동(憧憧). This interplay not only visualizes communication but also enriches participants' emotional experiences. The endeavor creates a multi-sensory graphic experience that seamlessly blends sound, virtual floral aesthetics, and human interaction, resulting in an immersive mixed-reality experience centered around 동동(憧憧). The generative floral designs draw inspiration from the evocative Korean contemporary Christian music piece, "Flowers" (꽃들도), composed by MEBIG. They are specifically tailored for a children's workshop in Japan, ensuring accessibility and engagement for young audiences. This innovative project introduces a new experiential graphic art form that harmonizes soundscapes with human interaction, integrates virtual floral elements with cutting-edge computer vision technology, and cultivates a rich mixed-reality environment focused on the concept of 동동(憧憧).
