Press Release

Chu Mirim utilises pixel and grid as core visual languages to generate new methods of communication that transcend the boundaries between analog and digital. The juxtaposition of the two evokes a sense of nostalgia amidst the rapid transformations of modern society. The pixel, a foundational unit of digital imagery, serves as both a nostalgic reference to the early days of the web in the late 20th century and a reflection of the hyper-digitalised context of contemporary life. In a world shaped by data and technology, Chu’s work critically engages with the visual and structural patterns of this data-driven reality.

At Frieze Seoul 2025, Baik Art presents Chu Mirim’s site-specific installation that unifies interface of the web and the urban city. Chu experiments with pixelation, geometric forms, and grids of satellite images and deconstructs them into new visual data. These data-driven materials are reconfigured into paintings, videos, photographs, and multimedia installations. Audiences are guided to navigate this liminal space, which offers a glimpse into the artist’s role as a mediator that harmonizes the two dimensions. Chu’s installation dissolves conventional divides by proposing fresh visual narratives and possibilities for new ways of communication in a hybridized world.
