The artist You Jang Woo, known for visually expressing the emotions of modern people, is holding a solo exhibition titled Your Mind.
The artist presents eight works that explore the chain of emotions linked to anxiety, fear, and desire, as well as the dopamine effect.
In the video works, the specific circumstances of Korean society and the instability of modern individuals are expressed through the artist's lens.
In particular, the artist uses AI to convert human emotions into data, showcasing how they are commodified under capitalism.
You’s solo exhibition, which keenly explores the complex emotions of modern society, will be held until November 9th.
