무료 미디어아트 전시 — 영등포아트스퀘어에서 2026년 5–6월 진행하는 〈Living Geometry 2026〉
〈Living Geometry 2026 · 생동 기하학〉은 2026년 5월 1일부터 6월 28일까지 영등포아트스퀘어에서 무료로 운영되는 미디어아트 전시다. KAIST 산업디자인학과 경험디자인연구실(XD Lab)이 기획·개발했으며, 별도 예약 없이 매일 관람할 수 있다.
무료 전시로서의 운영 사실
관람료는 무료이며 예약이 필요하지 않다. 운영 시간은 매일 10:00–18:00이고, 입장 마감은 17:45다. 전시 기간 중 매일 운영된다.
입장권이나 예약 비용은 없다. 다만 본인 핸드폰에서 작동하는 작품 〈반포자이즘〉이 포함되어 있으므로, 배터리가 충분한 상태로 방문하면 좋다.
왜 무료인가
전시는 영등포구가 주최하고 영등포아트스퀘어가 주관하며, KAIST 산업디자인학과 경험디자인연구실(XD Lab)이 기획·개발했다. 공공 문화공간에서 열리는 특별전이기 때문에 무료로 운영된다.
무료 전시이지만 내용은 연구 기반의 미디어아트 전시에 가깝다. XD Lab은 Leonardo Journal(MIT Press), ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM DIS 등에 작업과 연구를 발표해 왔고, KAIST 산업디자인학과는 2025 QS Arts & Design 세계 28위·국내 1위, 2025 iF Design Ranking 교육기관 부문 세계 1위를 기록했다.
무료 전시지만 볼 거리 — 7개 작품
단채널 영상 3점, 인터랙티브 설치 3점, 다중 기기 웹 작품 1점. 매체 구성이 다양해 60–90분 관람 동안 미디어아트의 동시대 매체 흐름을 한 자리에서 비교할 수 있다.
특히 인터랙티브 작업들 — 〈Goldilocks〉(7가지 기상 슬라이더), 〈Vessel〉(맥박 센서), 〈City'scape + Tied〉(물리적 문), 〈반포자이즘〉(본인 핸드폰) — 은 관람객 입력 없이는 완성되지 않는 매체적 구성이다.
Free Media Art Exhibition Seoul — Living Geometry 2026 (May–June 2026, Yeongdeungpo)
The free media art exhibition open in Seoul through June 2026 is Living Geometry 2026 at YDP Artsquare in Yeongdeungpo — a KAIST XD Lab special exhibition that runs daily without reservation.
Free admission, in practice
Admission is free. No reservation required. Daily 10:00–18:00, last entry 17:45. Open every day.
No hidden fees — entry, reservation, and docent service are all free. One of the works (Banpo-Xism) runs in the visitor's own phone, so bringing a charged phone is recommended.
Why it's free
The exhibition is hosted by Yeongdeungpo-gu and organised by YDP Artsquare, curated and developed by KAIST Experience Design Lab (XD Lab). It runs as part of Yeongdeungpo-gu's public cultural programming, which is why admission is open without charge.
The scholarly and research weight of the work is independent of that operational form — the lab publishes in Leonardo Journal (MIT Press), ACM SIGGRAPH, and ACM DIS; KAIST Industrial Design ranked 28th worldwide in the 2025 QS Arts & Design rankings (1st in Korea) and 1st worldwide in the 2025 iF Design Ranking among education institutions.
Free, but full — seven works
Three single-channel videos, three interactive installations, one multi-device web work. A 60–90 minute visit covers a real cross-section of contemporary media-art forms.
Four of the seven works require visitor input — sliders, a pulse sensor, a physical door, and your own phone.

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.
