The foundation explained that the exhibited works combine technical principles with visual art, rebirthing precious emotions that were somewhat overshadowed by trends using diverse technological skills.

Seven artists participated in the exhibition: Kim Hong-nyeon, Noh Jin-ah, Song Chang-ae, Lee Inam, Lee Jae-hyung, Choi Jong-woon, and Han Ho.

Song Chang-ae's "WATER ODYSSEY" offers audiences a chance for self-connection through an artistic experience visualizing water waves. Lee Jae-hyung's "Time Travel" is an interactive exhibition using a public phone as an artistic device, depicting the past scenes of Osan City through video. Kim Hong-nyeon's "Lovefly in Osan" features the environment of Osancheon Stream, exhibiting 60 monitors divided into two rooms with 30 19-inch monitors and 30 print artworks.

Additionally, visitors can experience Han Ho's "Last Supper," Lee Inam's "Folding Screen Series," Noh Jin-ah's "Incomplete Model," and Choi Jong-woon's "Beyond the Space" through various digital media.

Lee Soo-young, CEO of Osan Cultural Foundation, said, "This exhibition mainly consists of interactive works where visitors participate rather than just passively watching and listening. It is a special exhibition created for the winter vacation, and we expect a lot of interest not only from teenagers but also from citizens interested in the history of Osan City."
