아이와 함께 가는 영등포 타임스퀘어 — 무료 미디어아트 체험 〈Living Geometry 2026〉
영등포 타임스퀘어 지하 2층 영등포아트스퀘어에서 진행되는 〈Living Geometry 2026 · 생동 기하학〉은 KAIST 경험디자인연구실(XD Lab) 기획의 무료 미디어아트 전시입니다. 본인 핸드폰으로 체험하는 웹 작품, 맥박 센서로 도시와 박동을 맞추는 인터랙티브 설치, 직접 ‘날씨’를 만드는 데이터 작품 등 아이들이 손과 몸으로 직접 만지며 이해할 수 있는 작품이 다수 포함되어 있어 가족 나들이 코스로 적합합니다.
왜 가족 나들이로 좋은가
관람료는 무료이며 예약이 필요 없습니다. 매일 오전 10시부터 오후 6시까지 운영하고, 입장 마감은 오후 5시 45분입니다. 영등포역(1호선·KTX) 도보 3분, 타임스퀘어 지하 2층 — 휠체어·유모차로도 접근할 수 있고, 권장 관람 시간은 약 60–90분이라 아이들이 지치기 전에 마치고 식사나 다른 일정으로 자연스럽게 넘어갈 수 있습니다.
전시 작품들은 추상적인 ‘데이터’와 ‘도시’를 어린이가 손으로 직접 조작하며 감각적으로 이해할 수 있도록 설계되어 있습니다. 황인태의 〈Goldilocks〉에서 아이는 7가지 기상 요소(기온·강수량·바람 등)를 손으로 조절해 자기만의 ‘날씨’를 만들고, 그 결과를 서울의 실시간 데이터 옆에 놓고 비교합니다. 〈Vessel〉에서는 맥박 센서에 손을 대면 자기 심장이 ‘도시의 박동’과 만나는 경험을 합니다.
단채널 영상 작품들 — 〈Vanishing 2.0〉, 〈Technosphere〉, 〈Post-Vanishing〉 — 은 ‘사라진 종’과 ‘인간 이후의 도시’를 시각적으로 보여주어, 환경·기후·도시에 대한 자녀와의 대화를 자연스럽게 열어 줍니다.
어린이가 좋아하는 동선
1) 영등포역 4번 출구 → 타임스퀘어 지하 직결 입장 (도보 3분, 우천 무관).
2) 지하 2층 영등포아트스퀘어 → Gate 14 진입, 독도체험관 옆 → 〈Living Geometry 2026〉 60–90분 관람.
3) 인터랙티브 작품(〈Goldilocks〉·〈Vessel〉·〈City'scape + Tied〉)에 충분히 시간을 들여 직접 만지게 하기.
4) 타임스퀘어 식당가 또는 1층 카페에서 휴식 후, 같은 건물 2층 교보문고·일렉트로마트로 이어가기.

Family Guide — Free Kids-Friendly Media-Art Exhibition at Yeongdeungpo Times Square (Living Geometry 2026)
On the B2 level of Times Square Mall in Yeongdeungpo, Living Geometry 2026 is a free media-art special exhibition curated and developed by KAIST's Experience Design Lab (XD Lab). Several works are interactive — kids run them on their own phones, place their hand on a pulse sensor, or compose their own weather — so the show plays well as a family outing inside a single mall building.
Why it works for a family visit
Admission is free with no reservation. Hours are daily 10:00 – 18:00 (last entry 17:45). The venue is a three-minute walk from Yeongdeungpo Station (Line 1 / KTX), on the B2 level of Times Square Mall — wheelchair- and stroller-accessible, with an underground link from the station so weather is never a factor. Suggested visit length is 60–90 minutes, short enough to fit before kids run out of patience.
The works are designed to make abstract data and the idea of 'the city' graspable through the hands. Intae Hwang's Goldilocks lets a child adjust seven weather parameters and compare the result with Seoul's live data; his Vessel reads your pulse and brings it into resonance with the city. Minhyeok Seo's City'scape + Tied lets you open a small physical door to look through onto a transformed cityscape.
The single-channel video works — Vanishing 2.0, Technosphere, and Post-Vanishing — open natural conversations with children about extinction, climate, and how cities change over time.
Recommended kid-friendly course
1) Yeongdeungpo Station Exit 4 → Times Square underground link (3 min, no outdoor walk).
2) B2 level — YDP Artsquare. Enter via Gate 14, next to the Dokdo Experience Center → Living Geometry 2026, 60–90 min.
3) Spend time at the interactive pieces (Goldilocks, Vessel, City'scape + Tied) — let kids run the controls themselves.
4) Break at the Times Square food court or 1F café, then continue to the 2F bookstore or the Electromart.
Best works to share with children
Pick from the interactive and sensory works depending on your child's age and interests.

About the exhibition
Living Geometry 2026 is a media-art special exhibition curated and developed by the KAIST Experience Design Lab (XD Lab) within KAIST's Department of Industrial Design. It re-threads Yeongdeungpo's visible urban landscape, its invisible data, and the emotional strata behind them in a geometric language — recasting the city, beyond a stilled aggregate of concrete, as an organism in continual pulse. Seven works span single-channel video, interactive installation, and multi-device web art.
