About the Exhibition


Barcode Landscape explores the intersection between romanticized Korean landscapes and the visual language of today’s data-driven world.

Drawing inspiration from traditional Korean masterpieces—Kim Hong-do’s Nine Dragons Waterfall and Jeong Seon’s Falls at Pakhyon and Geumgangsan series—the artist reinterprets them using QR codes, barcodes, and machine-readable imagery.

Printed through silkscreen and acrylic techniques, these works are not mere homage but a layered dialogue between eras:

the awe of natural beauty vs. the compression of experience into codes.

The result is a series of visual meditations that invite reflection on how we perceive, remember, and reduce nature in the digital age.



From the Artist


“Our ancestors gazed at waterfalls in wonder.

We scan them now.

This exhibition traces the space between those two gestures.”

Comments


Hyun-young Oh's work is an attempt to restore forgotten landscapes in a scannable world.


Using barcodes and QR codes as brushes, she rekindle the sense of nature buried in digital symbols.
