The work was made of Arduino and 3D printing. Ultrasonic sensors and neopixels were used, and the spike was designed to glow when an object entered within 2 Meter, the social distance. I wanted to raise awareness about the coronavirus and observe people's reactions through this project performance. Even Though extreme Heavy metal fashion will attract people's attention, I think I can give a political message through this performance and record invasion of disease 2020.

I first came up with the idea of visualizing the shapes of dancheong (patterns) and Kiwa (tiles), which are Korean roof patterns. In order to produce this work, I was aimed at repetition, arrangement, and organic movement. They were meant to express a 'modernized tradition', I wanted a more effective and abstract expression.

Finally, I thought of visualizing Korean poet Yun Dong-ju's poems with modern sensibilities. I was fascinated by this concept because it was a process of transferring different genres of art to digital visualization and, above all, It is a modern reinterpretation of Korean traditions because this poem represents the unique feeling of Korea very well.
