Overview

The Cycle of Life Awakened by Light

This is an immersive interactive media art installation themed 'The Cycle of Life,' established in the Media Exhibition Hall on the 1st floor of the Chungbuk Emotional Insect Exhibition Center. Implementing a vertical ecosystem that naturally transitions from the water surface (shallow) to the deep waters (depths) across a 5-minute, 3-sided panoramic screen, it offers visitors an overwhelming sense of visual healing. The video begins under a clear sky with the dynamic hunting of a kingfisher and a family of otters swimming, and as the viewpoint gradually descends, it transitions into a mysterious underwater hide-and-seek featuring 'golden mandarin fish'—a representative fish species of Chungbuk—and 'Miho spine loach' burrowing into the sand. In the climax scene, 'The Festival of Life,' all underwater creatures transform into self-luminous spirits of light, presenting a fantastical interaction where brilliant waves of light ripple in response to the gestures and movements of the visitors. Finally, returning to peaceful nature, it delivers a profound message: "Preserving the freshwater ecosystem is preserving our future." It is the essence of high-end spatial curation that perfectly synchronizes space, living organisms, and technology.
