SEUNGBIN YANG

Deconstructed Icons, 2022The artist focused on the phenomenon of digital transformation. The image deteriorates into an unfamiliar appearance and differs from the existing recognition in transmitting and replicating the digital image. The deconstructed Icons are the substitution of 'slicing' and 'attaching' the 2D images digitally into a 3D digital image; the result of dismantling, transforming and recombining the 2D images taken from the LOUIS QUATORZE product. This visual transformation separates the object from the conventional context of the LOUIS QUATORZE's bag into an object with a heterogeneous yet bizarre digital aesthetic.
