[Exhibition] Flashback: To the Future
TRIC presents a series of immersive digital experiences across multiple spaces, combining video, painting, and installation to reimagine cultural heritage.
In the first space, visitors are introduced to TRIC’s major projects through responsive media that highlight the creative process behind its works. This section offers a glimpse into the charm and potential of digital preservation of heritage.
The second space invites audiences into a immersive screen media. Seven Jeweled Mountains: An Unknown Journey reinterprets a 10-panel folding screen from the Joseon Dynasty that depicts Mount Chilbo(located in present-day North Korea) using motion graphics and projection mapping. Actor Ryu Jun-yeol’s narration and a soundtrack by world-renowned composer Yang Bang-ean further draw viewers into the 16th-century journey of the explorer Lim Hyeong-su.
From there, the exhibition shifts into a time-travel narrative of Changdeokgung Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site, exploring its transformation from the 19th to the 21st century. Through interactive visual graphics that react to live performances like geomungo sanjo, pansori, and salpuri dance—the exhibition visualizes the rhythms of Korean heritage as brushstrokes of iconic paintings, including Inwang Jesaekdo.
In the third space, abstract visual sequences reinterpret national treasures as precious materials—diamond, ruby, crystal, sapphire—emphasizing the irreplaceable value of cultural artifacts.
Finally, in the last gallery, ethereal projections of treasures such as the Pensive Bodhisattva, the Ten-Story Pagoda of Gyeongcheonsa Temple, and the Gwanggaeto Stele ripple across layers of translucent fabric, allowing visitors to walk among living echoes of history.
TRIC’s works are designed with the hope that cultural heritage—preserved and archived with advanced technology and reimagined as compelling content—can be cherished by people anytime, anywhere. These pieces offer a visceral, multisensory connection to the past, enabling visitors to experience heritage not only through sight and sound, but through deep emotional resonance.
