Hosted by Urban Art Lab in Seoul and organized by AliceOn, in collaboration with the Soorim Cultural Foundation and FLOWORKS, the exhibition 《Slipping Reality: Reconfiguring Borders, Expanding Senses》 is on view at Soorim Cube through July 19.

The exhibition begins with a reflection on how art and technology today perceive, contemplate, and unfold the increasingly blurred and fluid boundaries between reality and the virtual.

The exhibition begins with a reflection on how, in today’s world where the boundaries between reality and the virtual slip, overlap, and shift, art and technology perceive, contemplate, and articulate this condition.

Participating artists Nam Soyeon, Lee InKang, Lee Jaehyung, Lee Haekang, Team Pearl, and Han Seungku each present unique perspectives and mediums—unfolding themes such as the human body and emotions, sound and data, and social issues through contemporary media.

In this space, viewers are invited to explore how multilayered the “reality” they take for granted truly is—and how technology can expand our senses and ways of thinking. The exhibition’s title, “Slipping Reality,” suggests a dissolution of fixed truths and boundaries, where everyday life is reinterpreted in unfamiliar ways through the convergence of artistic imagination and technology.

《Slipping Reality》 introduces active creators working between the realms of art and technology. Within the spaces they construct—where reality slips and shifts—visitors encounter moments when the familiar becomes strangely unfamiliar. In doing so, the exhibition opens up new perspectives on our present lives and the society we inhabit.
