This exhibition begins from the recurring absence of records that have surfaced in recent events in Korean society, as well as the sense of physical and emotional isolation experienced during a period of living in the Netherlands. The exhibition reads the technical error message “404 Not Found” as a metaphor for social absence, exploring what kinds of sensations and languages emerge in the place where something that should exist has disappeared. The participating artists visualize erased traces, lost memories, and gaps in incomplete data through various media and digital narratives, revealing how information and memory are reconstructed. The exhibition approaches the void left by absence not as a simple lack, but as a possibility for new relations and interpretations.

This edition of Baton Relay pauses the familiar language of "self-care" and "career self-management." Platform capitalism has long repeated the advice to take care of oneself and manage one's time for the sake of productivity, yet these gentle suggestions often function as commands—asking individuals to carry the weight of exhaustion, unstable emotions, and fragmented time on their own. The baton they receive in this edition is an attempt to briefly stop that sentence and reconsider its structure through the slowest interface we have: books.

Water Council of Relationality (WCoR) is a collaborative research program that approaches water not as a simple resource or technical component, but as an active agent operating within environmental, social, and political relations. The project critically revisits the historical perspective of Dutch water councils, which have traditionally treated water as an object of management and control, and instead considers how contemporary water issues have expanded beyond local concerns into complex global conditions.

It critically reflects on the historical role of traditional Dutch “water councils,” which have treated water as something to be controlled and managed, and instead responds to the reality that contemporary water issues are no longer local but global, interconnected, and increasingly complex.

From September to December 2024, fifty-five students from the Social Design MA program at Design Academy Eindhoven and the Institute of Applied Arts at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University in Taiwan took part as a fictional council, exploring our relationship with water through multiple lenses—politics, infrastructure, memory, media, sexuality, and more-than-human worlds.

Development collaboration for designer Kim Taeryong’s exhibition Pyeonsan.

This website continuously remaps the center of a fictional mascot ecosystem, based on collected visual signifiers of contemporary cute mascots. Virtual species can repeatedly cluster and deconstruct according to their visual and taxonomic similarities—and their hybridity—driven by users’ engagement.

This project focused on museum branding and exhibition design. They were invited by the museum to develop its branding and exhibition design system, and during this process they became particularly interested in the conditions of the museum's location. The Busan Museum of Contemporary Art is situated on Eulsukdo, an island that also serves as a major migratory route for birds. The fact that human activities and the movement of migratory birds take place in the same location became the starting point of the project.
