Digital Conversion of Existing Kkumdari Works
Highly Praised System for Easy Access Anytime
‘Space Bridge’ in Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Noh Gwan-gyu) is rapidly emerging as a new landmark in the region.
As Suncheonman National Garden surpassed 210,000 visitors just seven days after its opening, the renewed ‘Space Bridge,’ formerly known as Dream Bridge, has been receiving continuous praise.
The original ‘Dream Bridge’ by artist Kang Ik-jung was a work made by recycling container boxes. Over the course of 10 years, issues such as leakage and peeling steadily occurred. Additionally, due to constant outdoor exposure, problems like fading arose, raising concerns about the deterioration of the artwork’s quality.
To address these issues, the city began a project to digitally convert over 140,000 analog artworks. Through this, a system was established inside the ‘Space Bridge’ that allows visitors to find the original artworks.
This system not only helps visitors who participated in the original project easily locate their own works but also offers general visitors a unique experience of exploring the dreams of 140,000 children from 10 years ago.
The reason ‘Space Bridge’ has received acclaim is that it permanently preserves the artistic value of ‘Dream Bridge.’ Digitalization has prevented damage to the artwork, and as its name suggests, ‘Space Bridge’ has been reborn as a symbolic space where children’s dreams connect to the universe.
Mayor Noh Gwan-gyu of Suncheon said, “The analog elements of Suncheonman National Garden enhance its completeness, while cutting-edge digital technology has been added where necessary. Visitors who came to Suncheon last year will be able to experience a completely transformed National Garden when they return.”
Meanwhile, Suncheonman National Garden, which opened on the 1st, will operate year-round and will be closed on the last Monday of every month.
