Artist Yeesookyung, known for her "Translated Vase" series that repairs broken ceramics with gold, has created new AI-driven video works for the exhibition "Fail Better," jointly held at Forum & Space in Seoul and Vido Gallery in Jeju through June 13. The two-person show, curated by Kim Yoon-kyung, also features media artist Yangachi and includes works like "Moonlight Crown," which uses real-time GPS and weather data to generate ever-changing forms, and "Oh, Rose!," a digitally bred rose series produced through an AI generative system.
The exhibition matters because it marks Yeesookyung's first presentation of video works and her exploration of AI and digital technology, expanding her practice from traditional ceramic sculpture into 21st-century media. By engaging with themes of perception, technology, and spiritual sovereignty, the show reflects a broader contemporary art trend of artists using AI to question fixed forms and explore the intersection of tradition and innovation, positioning Yeesookyung as a cultural translator who bridges Korean heritage with global artistic discourse.
