The Projects So Far.
J. Park. The Art of Noise — Daegu, South Korea · 2026
For the first time, a solo exhibition by an artist from South Korea was presented at Art Düsseldorf in 2026: “J. Park. The Art of Noise”. J. Park is known for his multifaceted practice spanning painting, sculpture, installation, and immersive environments, in which he engages with the concept of “digital noise.” He employs glitch signals, image distortions, and data noise as his primary artistic medium to explore the boundaries between virtual reality and physical existence. Noise functions as an aesthetic device through which transient and negatively connoted digital residues are transformed into structured visual compositions. Park’s philosophy understands noise as a metaphor for the remnants of humanism in an age dominated by algorithms. By elevating error to an aesthetic principle, J. Park challenges the hierarchy between intended information and so-called “disruptive” noise. “Whether in the desert, in front of the pyramids or at Art Düsseldorf, J. Park interprets history and the present as a ‘pure signal’ that can be reformulated and viewed through the artist’s digital interpretation – the ‘noise’ of the present.” — Gregor Jansen Curated by Gregor Jansen, former director of the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf. With the kind support of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea.
