SEOUL.- The MMCA×LG OLED Series, making its debut this year as part of a collaboration between MMCA and LG Electronics, is a futuristic project that goes beyond the intersection of digital and contemporary art to explore possibilities for expansion in visual art today. The project aims to use technology as a medium to broaden the world that we can sense, and to share new artist narratives and emergent moments. The MMCA×LG OLED Series exhibits new works by a single artist, selected through recommendation and evaluation by experts from the art world, in the Seoul Box, the central space at MMCA’s Seoul branch. The chosen artist’s works are designed to reflect the specific characteristics of the Seoul Box. By offering opportunities to artists with a deep understanding of space, originality and a sense of experimentation, MMCA strives to create futuristic museum landscapes forged by art and technology together.

TZUSOO, selected in 2025 as the project’s inaugural artist, deftly captures the sensibilities and contemporary emotions of the digital native generation, and has built an original visual language at the boundary of the cyber ecosystem and physical reality. In this exhibition, the artist integrates her worldview, formed over a long period of time, and senses, offering a compelling illustration of the fundamental topics of life, desire and endless circulation through technological media and material forms.

The exhibition title, Agarmon Encyclopedia: Leaked Edition, refers to a situation in which a worldview centered on Agarmon, an organism created by the artist, has for some reason begun appearing in the human world. Seoul Box, located at the hub of MMCA Seoul’s exhibition halls, abandons its identity as a familiar venue, transforming into a strange yet organic space where life, extinction, and rebirth intertwine. Within the Seoul Box, expanded into an ecosystem where a perpetual digital world meets sculptures that evolve overtime, viewers encounter female desires relating to the creation of life, cycles of nature, and the myriad emotions and energies derived from these processes. The faithful color reproduction and resolution of OLED displays form a powerful synergy with the aesthetic approach of the artist, who has constructed a virtuoso sculptural language using digital media. This sensual landscape, filling the Seoul Box, questions the things that transcend technology and must be sensed by art: bodies, bonding, the power of regeneration, and imperfect life (beautiful for its imperfection).
