Emergence Exhibition
Gana Artspace, Seoul, South KoreaEmergence is a term used in science, art, philosophy, and complex theory, where a large collective behavior or system arises from smaller, simpler entities. Emergence is also associated with a system to generate seemingly chaotic patterns that in fact have self-generated and organizational system.
The exhibition Emergence is a collaborative exhibition held by Artists, Architects, and Urban Planners, to develope their own idea of Emergence through painting, urban topography, and biological morphology.
My idea of Emergence was inspired by the idea of cell. If a cell is the smallest unit in Biology, a house would be smallest unit in Architecture. Thus, I regarded a house as a living unit, the cell, and imagine them going on a journey throughout major cities of the world -- NewYork, Shanghai, Rio De Janeiro, and Seoul. Houses congregate, extend with their own self-organizing and bio-morphological system, and clash, interact, and mingle with the formal, rigid city.
