Artist needs help
French-Canadian interdisciplinary artist Pierre Tremblay is visiting Seoul as part of his collective video art walk project.
He will walk with a group through Seoul's downtown this Thursday, covering the Euljiro area that is threatened with demolition as well as Seun Sangga, a megastructure measuring 1 kilometer long and only 50 meters wide.
Participants will record videos on their own devices, and then transfer the files to him. The final product will be a multidimensional video collage showing everyone's perspective in real time. The result will resemble a Cubist representation of the area.
To participate, meet the group at Euljiro 4-ga Station exit 1 at noon Thursday. The event will take up to an hour.
