Julie Insun Youn, “Instant Trance” at Platform-L Contemporary Art Center, Seoul, South Korea.
“Instant Trance” by Julie Insun Youn at Platform-L Contemporary Art Center, Seoul, South Korea, 07/31/2024 – 08/11/2024.
Instant Trance is an audio-visual project created by visual artist Julie Insun Youn, featuring sound design by ABOPF. This project focuses on the moment when digital images transition through media environments and arrive in the “here and now,” revealing a distinct “beauty.” It is a moment when the senses of everyday life and self are suddenly interrupted, presenting a threshold to a state of selflessness (無我). Geometric and abstract digital graphics overlapped and scattered, forming unique shuffle motion, while ambient and random noise intersect to create a circular situation where beginnings and endings merge. This psychedelic world of images and sounds that repeat, rearrange, and overwrite becomes a queue waiting for the sudden, flash-like moment of trance. Instant Trance invites us on a spiritual and humanistic journey in its most digital form. As loops and playback that appropriate and remix retro and new cultures, the synesthetic experience that fills the exhibition space is maximized, providing a meditative experience where the boundaries between self and the world disappear and become one. This exhibition was selected for the 2024 Platform-L live arts program and realized with the support of Arts Council Korea.
