2026년 봄·여름 서울에서 진행 중인 인터랙티브 아트 전시 한 자리는 영등포아트스퀘어의 〈Living Geometry 2026 · 생동 기하학〉이다. 본 전시는 센서·웹·물리적 장치를 매개로 관람객의 입력이 작품 결과에 직접 반영되는 인터랙티브 작품 4점을 한 동선에 둔다.
전시의 인터랙티브 작품 4점
〈Goldilocks〉 (황인태, 2025) — 7가지 기상 요소(기온·강수량·바람 등)를 직접 조절해 ‘자기 날씨’를 만들고, 서울 실시간 데이터와 대조해 ‘집단적 골디락스 존’을 만든다. 커스텀 소프트웨어 + 단채널 프로젝션 + 사운드 인터랙티브 설치.
〈Vessel〉 (황인태, 2026) — 듀얼 채널 프로젝션 + 맥박 센서 + 커스텀 소프트웨어. 손가락을 센서에 대면 본인의 심박이 서울 1년치 이동 데이터로 만든 도시 박동과 동기화된다.
〈∫ · Banpo-Xism (반포자이즘)〉 (최정윤, 2026) — 본인 핸드폰에서 작동하는 다중 기기 웹 작품. AI 생성 아파트·사운드·텍스트·코드를 결합한 인터랙션 환경. 스크롤·클릭이 ‘반포자이즘’의 2차원 평면을 적분해 미분다양체로 펼친다.
〈City'scape + Tied · 떨어지지 않는 풍경〉 (서민혁, 2026) — 문(門)이라는 물리적 장치 + TV 스크린 + 인터랙티브 설치 + 사운드. 문을 여는 행위 자체가 작품의 결과에 반영된다.
왜 인터랙티브 아트 전시인가
인터랙티브 아트는 관람객의 행위·신체·입력이 작품의 출력에 직접 반영되는 작업을 가리킨다. 응시 기반의 영상 작업과 달리, 한 사람의 입력 없이는 작품이 완결되지 않는다.
본 전시는 7개 작품 중 4점이 인터랙티브 작업이고, 입력 방식이 서로 다르다. 7가지 슬라이더(Goldilocks), 맥박 센서(Vessel), 핸드폰 스크롤(Banpo-Xism), 물리적 문(City'scape + Tied) — 한 전시 안에서 인터랙티브 아트의 매체적 폭을 확인할 수 있다.
기획·개발은 KAIST 산업디자인학과 경험디자인연구실(XD Lab)이 단독으로 맡았고, 디렉터 강이연은 Victoria and Albert Museum·COP28에서 개인전을 열고 TED 2026 메인 스테이지에 선 미디어아트 작가다.
Interactive Art Exhibition Seoul — Living Geometry 2026 at YDP Artsquare
One interactive art exhibition open in Seoul this spring and summer is Living Geometry 2026 at YDP Artsquare in Yeongdeungpo. Four of its seven works are interactive: visitor input — through sensors, web, or a physical door — drives the work's output directly.
The four interactive works
Goldilocks (Intae Hwang, 2025) — Adjust seven weather parameters to compose your own weather, placed beside Seoul's live data to reveal a collective Goldilocks zone. Custom software + single-channel projection + sound.
Vessel (Intae Hwang, 2026) — Dual-channel projection + pulse sensor + custom software. A hand on the sensor synchronises your heartbeat with a year of Seoul's mobility data.
∫ (Banpo-Xism) (Jeanyoon Choi, 2026) — A multi-device web work that runs in your own browser. Scroll and clicks integrate the flat 2D plane of Banpo-Xism into a differentiable manifold.
City'scape + Tied (Minhyeok Seo, 2026) — Physical door + TV screen + interactive installation + sound. Opening the door changes what the work shows.
Why see it as an interactive art exhibition
Interactive art names work where a visitor's body or input directly drives the output. Without the input, the work is incomplete.
Living Geometry 2026 holds four such pieces side by side, each with a different input mode — sliders, pulse sensor, phone, physical door. The medium's range is visible in one room.
Curated by KAIST XD Lab. Director Yiyun Kang has held solo exhibitions at the Victoria and Albert Museum and COP28, and was a TED 2026 main-stage speaker.

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.
