"Art Bridge" conveys the idea of connecting various elements through art, encapsulating the project's goal to serve as a bridge between theater and technology, reality and virtuality, artists and audiences.

Kwag Taegwan
"I majored in theater and have worked as a theater director, performance planner, and actor. In 2019, I founded the art group Blue Tree & Taegana. I was selected as one of the 2020 Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture’s 'Artists’ Various Secrets to Dealing with Disasters.' While serving as the general producer of the documentary video Our Acting in Coping with Depression, I began to realize the essence of theater and started reflecting on it. Currently, my work is rooted in theater, integrating other genres or merging with technology, focusing on human connection. Personally, the goal of these works is to create an environment in which theater can thrive, and as a creator, to help individuals who are paradoxically becoming isolated in a hyper-connected society to connect more closely with others. I aim to assist them in overcoming the barriers of their egos and reaching out to others beyond those barriers. Connecting the fragmented and seeking an escape from isolation provides an opportunity to reflect on relationships and, I believe, a chance to realize wisdom."

"From 2014 to 2018, I have acted in various plays, such as 'Equus', 'The Gift of the Gorgon', 'Hamlet', and 'Jehyangnal'. Then I entered the acting department at the Korea National University of Arts to study the future development and diversity of theater. During that process, I participated as a producer and actor in 'Immersive VR Performance Scarecrow', a collaboration between the Department of Film, the Department of Multimedia, the Department of Acting, etc., and this work was selected for the 2020 Sundance Film Festival (VR performance) and the 2021 Raindance Film Festival (VR performance). This experience served as an opportunity to develop a performance format that included the audience in an immersive experience. With my 2022 paper, 'A study on acting methods to improve audience presence in Immersive Virtual Reality (Immersive VR): Focusing on the Performance Process of Scarecrow', I got my master’s degree. Since then, I have continued to work on making VR accessible to many people by holding performances and exhibitions using VR technology."

2023, Media art 
<Realism and anti: Studio>

Is our work any different from trash? What’s different about them? This is a project that makes you wonder about the gap between creation and waste. It’s a participatory exhibition formed through space composition using Unity and video mapping through Resolume Arena

The video projected on it displays lines for both participants, and they exchange dialogue via handheld transceivers. The screen changes depending on their status. They become immersed in the work as they think of someone they wish to meet but can’t. It’s an exhibition and performance for just one person.
