Kolekcinio eksponato aprašymas

Rho Jae Oon has been producing works that give new meanings to images, texts, and sounds he collected from the internet and induce change the way of thinking, appropriating the technique of montage, a technique in film editing. Rho tells that we should enlighten ourselves about the danger of the transcendent speed that is accelerated by ‘smart’ platforms such as social network services. Rather than discussing the stereotypical optimism or hostility to the digital and the internet, we shall recognize the fact that the velocity of technology might induce us to unconscious conformity towards the myths created by the establishment. Monstermind is an interface* created by the artist, which plays a role of an attitude that responds to information and temporality of the current time and functions as a platform that combines them in a different dimension. * Interface: A term to describe a physical or imaginary medium created to enable communication between objects or humans. For example, a landline telephone or a mobile phone can be examples of an inter-human interface in its physical forms. Virtual forms of the inter-human interface can be cable and wireless networks. * Monster Mind: In everyday use, ‘Monster Mind’ is a programme for protecting against cyber warfare without order or command by human and it is supposed to sense an attack automatically. Beyond that, it means a supernational and artificial intelligence.

Rho Jae Oon: Bridging Tradition and Digital Landscape

Rho Jae Oon (노재운), born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1971, is a Korean artist whose practice centers on exploring the intersection between traditional Buddhist philosophy and contemporary digital media. His work consistently investigates how visual culture navigates the complexities of recognition and accommodation within society—particularly as shaped by the pervasive influence of the internet. Rather than simply embracing new technologies, Oon employs montage techniques to synthesize disparate elements – images from the web, sound recordings, and textual narratives – transforming them into conceptually rich artworks that provoke cognitive shifts and challenge conventional perceptions. Oon’s artistic journey began with a fascination for film and performance art, fueled by an early exposure to experimental cinema and theatrical productions. This initial engagement established a foundational understanding of how visual storytelling could convey profound ideas about human experience and spirituality. He honed his skills at Seoul National University, where he studied Fine Arts, immersing himself in the study of painting, sculpture, and installation art—disciplines that would inform his later explorations into mixed media formats. Notably, Oon’s interest in Buddhist thought stems from a personal exploration of Zen Buddhism, which profoundly impacted his artistic worldview. He sees parallels between Zen's emphasis on mindfulness and emptiness – concepts central to Buddhist cosmology – and the digital realm’s ability to disrupt established narratives and expose hidden biases. His breakthrough came with *Mulian Sutra*, a filmic meditation on the tale of Buddha’s disciple Mulian liberating his mother from the realms of hell. This narrative, deeply rooted in Buddhist symbolism, served as inspiration for Oon's artistic endeavors. He skillfully blends visual elements—such as photographic images and cinematic projections—with soundscapes to create immersive experiences that invite viewers into a contemplative dialogue with profound philosophical themes. The film *Chilean Capsule*, inspired by the Copiapó mining accident, exemplifies his commitment to confronting societal anxieties through artistic intervention. Using digital montage, Oon reimagines the rescue effort not as a straightforward narrative of heroism but as an exploration of vulnerability and hope—themes that resonate across cultures and eras. Oon’s work has garnered critical acclaim for its intellectual rigor and aesthetic innovation. Exhibitions at institutions like SEMA Seoul Museum of Art and inclusion in publications such as *Private* magazine attest to his growing recognition within the international art community. Furthermore, he actively engages with online platforms—particularly Vimalaki.net—to disseminate his artistic vision and foster dialogue about contemporary issues. His ongoing project C21Pictures demonstrates a dedication to pushing boundaries and experimenting with new forms of creative expression. Through his multifaceted practice, Rho Jae Oon continues to illuminate the enduring relevance of Buddhist philosophy in confronting the challenges posed by our increasingly digitized world.
