Agarmon Encyclopedia: Leaked Edition: TZUSOO Launches the MMCA×LG OLED Series 2025

A Futuristic Collaboration: Art Meets Technology

In 2025, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) has partnered with LG Electronics to create something bold and visionary: the MMCA×LG OLED Series.

Unlike traditional exhibitions, this series is designed as a living laboratory, where one artist each year is invited to merge technology and contemporary art inside the Seoul Box, MMCA Seoul’s central exhibition space.

With OLED displays as both medium and canvas, artists can test the limits of light, color, and narrative, challenging the way we perceive digital art in physical space.

A New Era of Art and Technology: MMCA × LG OLED Series 2025

This innovative collaboration pushes the boundaries of digital and contemporary art, fusing cutting-edge OLED technology with immersive storytelling.

Designed as a platform for experimentation and innovation, the series invites a single artist each year to transform the Seoul Box, the central space at MMCA Seoul. By tailoring artworks to the unique architectural and conceptual characteristics of the space, the project redefines what a futuristic museum experience can be.

Inaugural Artist of the MMCA × LG OLED Series

For the series debut in 2025, TZUSOO has been selected as the inaugural artist. Known for her ability to translate the emotions and aesthetics of the digital-native generation, TZUSOO constructs a unique visual language where the cyber ecosystem collides with physical reality.

In Agarmon Encyclopedia: Leaked Edition, TZUSOO unfolds a deeply personal and experimental narrative.

Her works draw viewers into a surreal, multi-sensory environment where digital landscapes merge with sculptural forms, creating an evolving ecosystem inside the Seoul Box.

Meet TZUSOO: The Artist of the Digital-Native Generation

Born into a generation raised online, TZUSOO has long been recognized for her ability to articulate the emotions and aesthetics of the digital-native mindset.

Her previous works, often described as hybrid worlds, blur the boundaries between:

• Cyber ecosystems and physical reality

• Human desire and machine expression

• Organic cycles and artificial lifeforms

By developing an original visual language, TZUSOO has positioned herself as one of Korea’s most forward-looking contemporary artists. Her practice reflects not just a fascination with technology, but a deep curiosity about existence itself, its fragility, imperfection, and power of renewal.

Agarmon Encyclopedia: Leaked Edition

The exhibition centers on Agarmon, an organism created by TZUSOO. The concept is simple yet profound: what happens when a world built around Agarmon begins to leak into ours?

Inside the Seoul Box, this leak becomes a spatial transformation. What was once a gallery is now an immersive ecosystem, part digital projection, part evolving sculpture, where:

• Life, extinction, and rebirth are in constant circulation

• Female perspectives on creation and desire are foregrounded

• Nature and technology meet in unexpected harmony

  
  

Here, OLED screens are not passive displays but living surfaces, bringing TZUSOO’s hybrid universe into high-resolution existence.

The Power of OLED as Medium

One of the most striking elements of this exhibition is how OLED technology enhances, rather than competes with, the art itself.

With its unmatched color fidelity, contrast, and resolution, OLED serves as a partner in storytelling. Every digital form, every sculptural movement, every flicker of light is rendered with astonishing clarity, allowing visitors to experience TZUSOO’s world not as a simulation, but as a sensual, almost tangible reality.

The synergy between technology and art raises bigger questions:

• What can only art express, even in a hyper-digital age?

• How do bodies, emotions, and bonds transcend the medium?

• Can imperfection. often erased by digital aesthetics, become its own form of beauty?

TZUSOO’s answer is a resounding yes.
