The selected six artworks at Hyundai Motorstudio Seoul utilize robotics, video, artificialintelligence and interactive and kinetic technologies as well as other methods to presentthe company’s Art+Technology vision.

“Portrait on the Fly” (2015) by Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau
is an interactive installation using a monitor, which mimics the contours of a person standing in front of it with countless moving speckles resembling a swarm of flies. By being in a constant flux, the images on the screen construct and deconstruct the reflected image of a bystander, a commentary on people’s obsession with their own image and the associated transience and impermanence.
