In this exhibition, artist Seongbae Cho presents several works that offer a new perspective on nature by transforming the shapes already perceived from what is seen in nature or arranging them in a way that looks different from everyday life. The artist says that this exhibition is an extension of his work on the "Anyang-cheon Project," during which he had a special visual experience that led him to look at nature from a micro perspective, rather than a macro perspective. As a result, the artist produced images in the "Mashup Painting Series" by reconstructing the shapes of nature digitally, creating images that reflect the artist's visual experience and memory.

    The images expressed on aluminum panels through digital processes are derived from the shapes of nature, such as insects, flowers, and birds, but the digitally reconstructed images reflect the artist's perspective and appear to be closer to abstract images with fragmented elements combined. These images are not merely optical images captured by the camera but rather new image creations that transform the artist's visual perception and memory processes. Furthermore, the artist shows his visual attitude by reconsidering everything in the flow and process of the work.

    This expression of the artist is also found in the "Anyang-cheon Project," which displays the artist's perspective and attitude toward things and the world, albeit in a slightly different way. This work captures landscapes and objects seen while walking along the Anyang-cheon(stream), and the artist converts the images into digital format, printing them out using a thermal printer for printing a receipt and arranging them as continuous images according to the flow of time. In this way, the flow of the stream and memories of the stream are presented in the exhibition space to match the flow of the audience's movement and gaze. Instead of reproducing the shapes of nature in a fragmentary manner, the artist reconstructs and rearranges the structure of the images, making the process of looking at the structure and objects in nature apparent in the work. Therefore, If you try to find an image that indicates an object came to your eyes from Seongbae Cho's works, you might be seeing only part of a reality in his artworks. However, if one can read the author's intentions or visual attitude that the author has transformed or rearranged, one can read and appreciate more of what is contained in the author's work. From this perspective, it can be easily inferred that the author's choice of a medium such as a receipt printer reflects the author's perspective and attitude of wanting to select a medium similar to the process of visual perception or memory being blurred and forgotten over time, unlike other media that change and disappear quickly depending on the amount of light.

This approach to the author's work is also partly connected to video works. The image data that has been converted to digital format is connected to a Raspberry Pi computer and monitor for playback, and the author appears to have wanted to work in an environment where the image data could be easily converted and used in their own way by using a computer developed by IoT developers for educational purposes, which is more flexible and easy to program than a regular computer. This can be seen as a way of reflecting the author's artistic attitude of freely modifying hardware or software structures and expressing their own vision. In this way, even though the author deals with natural images in their work, they do not limit themselves to reproducing them but perform their work in a way that shows the process of looking at objects along with their structure from natural images. In other words, the author shows what they saw and discovered from nature in their work. While looking at the landscape, insects, flowers, birds, and other everyday objects in nature, the author was able to reflect on the structure inherent in those images and also reflect on the human internal processes such as perception and memory, which include human systems, including visual perception, that interact with those objects. It is essential to read an artist's perspective or attitude in their work. However, especially in the case of Seongbae Cho, despite showing images, their attitude towards looking at objects is the first thing that becomes apparent. Therefore, to appreciate their work deeply, it is necessary to first understand the author's visual perspective and attitude. I encourage viewers to participate in the author's special visual experiences and the process of looking at objects that the author has discovered by understanding the author's perspective and attitude.
