Undercurrents

Research output: Non-textual formExhibitionProfessional

Abstract

Undercurrents is a series of live-streams from cameras attached to machinery in the workshops of the area surrounding the DDP. These live-streams provide a live ‘mapping’ of the labor conducted by the small businesses and workshops originating in Korea’s modernization period that formed Seoul’s main manufacturing hub. This situation is rapidly changing as the specialized work of the area is taken over by large warehouses that operate digitally from remote places. The Cheonggyecheon area is special because of the way materials and labor processes are visibly interconnected, often right on the street. The move to remote sites dematerializes this. Undercurrents aims to make this new remote materiality visible in order to critically reengage with the way we live and work under digital infrastructures.
