MMCA and LG Launch Groundbreaking OLED Art Series with Digital Installation by TZUSOO

LG Electronics has officially launched the inaugural exhibition of the MMCA×LG OLED Series 2025 in collaboration with the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA). The series opens with a striking digital art installation by renowned Korean media artist TZUSOO, on display at the museum’s central Seoul Box space from August 1, 2025, through February 1, 2026.

This multi-year initiative marks a bold step in bridging contemporary art and cutting-edge display technology. It transforms the Seoul Box—a vast, publicly accessible exhibition space—into a vibrant platform for large-scale media artworks. LG serves as the title sponsor, equipping artists with advanced OLED technology to help realize their creative visions.

A Digital Art Landmark

The inaugural exhibition, titled "Agarmon Encyclopedia: Leaked Edition", showcases TZUSOO’s distinctive artistic language, fusing digital-native aesthetics with themes of gender, desire, and transformation. The installation features a sculptural centerpiece, Agarmon, alongside a two-channel video piece, The Eight Spirits of Flesh.

Powering this immersive environment are 88 LG OLED 55-inch screens, forming two towering media walls tailored to the Seoul Box’s architecture. Renowned for their deep contrast and color accuracy, the OLED displays intensify the visual drama of TZUSOO’s work, bringing digital characters to life with fluid movement and hyperreal detail.

Art Meets Technology

“This exhibition is a powerful testament to what can happen when technology becomes a medium for artistic experimentation,” said Kate Oh, Head of Experiential Marketing at LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “With LG OLED’s immersive quality, we’re proud to support artists like TZUSOO in creating bold new sensory experiences.”

Kim Sunghee, Director of MMCA, praised the partnership’s inaugural project: “TZUSOO’s work captures the spirit of curiosity and innovation that the MMCA×LG OLED Series is designed to encourage. This exhibition opens up exciting new pathways for how technology and contemporary art can co-evolve.”

A Vision for the Future of Media Art

The MMCA×LG OLED Series will present a new commission annually, spotlighting leading media artists who push the boundaries of digital expression. It continues LG’s global commitment to supporting artists who explore the convergence of art and technology.
