[E-Daily Reporter LEE SEON-WOO ] Works in which artificial intelligence (AI) reinterprets traditional Korean colors, patterns, and natural landscapes as new visual art will be gathered in one place. This will be featured in a media art exhibition presented as part of “2026 Content Universe Korea,” taking place on the 16th and 17th at the Goyang Flower Exhibition Hall in Ilsan Lake Park, Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.
Now in its fourth year, the event has organized this program in collaboration with “AI Art,” a company specializing in AI-converged content. During the event, eight new works will be unveiled under the theme “Eight Artists, Eight Perspectives” in the “AI Media Art Zone” located in Exhibition Hall 2 of the Goyang Flower Exhibition Hall.
All works utilize generative AI as a creative tool, capturing each artist’s unique experiences, perspectives, and aesthetic sensibilities. Featuring pieces that express Korean aesthetics, nature, and the human psyche, this exhibition offers an opportunity to see how AI expands the artist’s imagination and range of expression.

Artist Kim Jin-young’s work “Blooming Heritage” depicts traditional folk paintings and Dancheong patterns blooming like flowers in a digital space. Through the process of small geometric shapes transforming into vibrant patterns, the piece expresses the convergence of traditional art and cutting-edge technology. Artist Park Han’s “Patchwork, Blooming Together” conveys the meaning of difference and coexistence through a scene where pieces of fabric in the five cardinal colors are connected by glowing threads, and flowers bloom at their junctions. Artist Im Eun-mi’s work “Transition of Light” illustrates the process by which traditional imagery transforms into a new visual language through its encounter with light, particles, and movement.
Works that visualize human emotions, thoughts, and the world of sound are also featured. Artist Kim Seong-ja’s “Subtlety” expresses the loneliness of children and young adults who are self-conscious of others’ gazes, while artist Heo Seong-hee’s “Questions Become Flowers” captures the journey of questions originating from the human psyche as they blossom into light and honeysuckle. Artist Baek In-gyeom’s “Resonance” visualizes invisible sound through the changes in dots, lines, and space that respond to music.

Through “Landscapes Embraced by Flowers,” artist Shin Mi-young unfolds traditional Korean landscape scenes within mother-of-pearl petals. Artist Choi Yu-kyung’s “Echoes of Heaven and Earth” expresses the meaning of peace and coexistence—where different beings harmonize—through waves of light flowing along Korea’s mountains and land.
An AI Art representative stated, “This exhibition is significant in that it utilizes AI not merely as a technology for generating images, but as an artistic tool that embodies the creator’s sensibilities and narratives,” adding, “Since each work combines traditional painting, video, music, and digital technology in different ways, it will serve as an opportunity to explore the diverse expressive possibilities of AI art.”
“2026 Content Universe Korea” is being held under the theme “The Infinitely Expanding Content Economy: Connecting Creators, IP, and Fandom.” Over the course of two days, the event will feature a relay of lectures by 24 domestic and international experts, as well as various exhibition and hands-on programs, including a “Toy Story” pop-up store by The Walt Disney Company Korea and a flea market hosted by popular influencers. The participation fee is 10,000 won per person, but admission is free for those who pre-register on the website by 5:00 p.m. on the 15th. A prize giveaway will also be held for pre-registered attendees, with winners selected by lottery to receive prizes such as international airline tickets and hotel stays.
