VJ WOOO<\/strong> is an electrifying, layered experience created by Woosung Kang<\/strong>, acclaimed art director and motion designer. The SUBMERGE installation is set in a nebula-bound junkyard<\/strong>, a cosmic gathering place for lost signals and forgotten memories. This piece became a way for Woosung to connect his past creations to “discover and define [his] own artistic color.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woosung Kang’s work is rooted in a unique process: listening to music and imagining the visuals, which he then brings to life using 3D software. This show is a testament to that style, where light and motion respond organically to sound<\/strong>, drawing the audience into a state of deep immersion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foundational music was composed by Woosung himself, using it to sculpt the entire visual structure. The most intriguing layer, however, is the incorporation of his past works, repurposed as interstellar DJ set visuals<\/strong>. Spotted on scrapped televisions and monitors, this blending of old and new elements, synchronized with the sound, led to “new and unexpected happy accidents” throughout the creative process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cARTECHOUSE is such an amazing place where you can look at the audience’s reaction in immersive space; people are just filming, dancing and taking pictures, and watching their reaction is a truly unique experience that I can\u2019t get out of 2D monitors.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\u2013 Woosung Kang<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
