GIST"s Culture Technology to be exhibited during the Gwangju Universiade
Korea Cultural Institute of Technology will host a Culture Technology gallery at the athlete’s village of 2015 Gwangju Summer Universiade from July 1st until the 15th. The gallery will exhibit various combined and multiplex content by using such technologies as 3d projection mapping, digitized wall screens, head-mounted displays, videos filmed with drones, and many other methods.
Digitized wall screens will have eight panels measuring 80.5 cm (31.7 in) high by 44.6 cm (17.6 in) wide. Traditional Korean motifs and sceneries expressing beauty will be displayed on the ultra-high definition 4K screen. The paintings are by the famous genre painter Hong-do Kim from the Joseon Period. His main subjects are ordinary Koreans experiencing everyday life, and he captured those moments from all over the country during his travels through Korea.
Cube Video Hall will play video clips captured from drones flying over the Young-san River, the temple of Unjusa, and the city of Gwangju. The Young-san River is known for allowing civilization to flourish in the southwest, and the temple of Unjusa is known as the home of a thousand cherished Buddhist statues and pagodas. Also, the city of Gwangju, known as the epicenter of the Korean democratic movement, will be shown from a bird’s eye view as the culture technology moves beyond the limits of human senses to help unite the hearts of young people from all over the world during the Universiade.
The new 3d projection mapping will be projected on a clay coffin from the Mahan period (1st century BC to 3rd century AD) and on a 3d projection of a bridge called ‘Seung-il-gyo’ (Gangwon-do), a sorrowful, historic and significant bridge that connects the South with the North, expressing the hopes of peace and a message of unification through the medium of art.
The head-mounted display will feature downtown Gwangju where a visitor wearing the device can experience a virtual walk-through of the streets of Chungjang-ro and Yangrim-dong with 360 degrees of stunning visibility.
Manager Kwang-hee Go of the Korea Cultural Institute of Technology said, “This will be a great opportunity to show the history and tradition of the beautiful artistic culture of Korea to the athletes attending the Universiade from 150 nations."
