In order to transform the simple process of entering the country into a cultural exhibition space, Incheon International Airport is currently screening 23 new video artworks utilizing kinetic media and anamorphic techniques across 16 types of media, including the Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 passenger halls.

'Han-Ipman, K-Pacman' and 'The Pathways,' which can be seen in the arrival hall corridor of Terminal 2, are animated videos that actively utilize display technologies. 'Han-Ipman, K-Pacman' is based on the globally renowned classic game 'Pacman,' but features characters inspired by Korean elements such as a rabbit, a tiger, and K-Food, offering arriving passengers a unique cultural experience.

Another feature, 'The Pathways,' presents visual effects in which the graphic background responds to the mechanical movement of the screen panels as they move forward and backward, while marbles traverse across the screen. These marbles represent travelers from around the world, and the process of the marbles merging and dispersing symbolically depicts encounters occurring within the space.

At the Welcome Hall on the first floor of Terminal 2, 'Brilliant Moonlit Night' displays a round moon and the animals of Jangsaengdo on the screen, carrying a message wishing for the safe journeys of arriving passengers. On the duty-free zone screens of Terminal 2, 'The Hospitality of K-Heritage,' which features Korea's UNESCO-listed cultural heritages designed in the form of toy blocks, is screened to introduce foreign travelers to the richness of Korean culture.

This media art project at Incheon International Airport is expected to serve as a successful precedent, demonstrating how public infrastructure can be expanded into a sensual cultural platform through the fusion of art and technology in the global market.
