The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Cheongju has built large-scale digital signage ‘Media Canvas’ on its exterior wall and has been officially operating since February 23.

Digital signage or media facades, which were introduced in Korea in the early 2000s, have recently been activated as effective exhibition spaces in the non-face-to-face era by broadcasting artworks on the exterior walls of buildings. The ‘Media Canvas’ curved digital signage at Cheongju Museum, is also based on this medium and is an open exhibition platform that highlights the role and symbolism of the art collection center as the ‘First storage museum in Korea’

As the first public exhibition of ‘Media Canvas,’ two works from the collection and two new works by media artist Je Baak will be presented sequentially. The museum also plans to operate ‘Media Canvas’ as an experimental medium for creators. It plans to expand the range of artwork experiences by creating collection-based content, collaborating with domestic and international artists using ChatGPT AI technology, and creating participatory works that can communicate with citizens.
