The Art of Reading: From Paper to Pixel

읽기의 기술: 종이에서 픽셀로

This exhibition traces the evolution of graphic design since the introduction of horizontal Korean writing in publishing during the 1970s. It showcases designers who explored the relationship between text and image as media shifted from analog to digital, spanning from the golden age of phototypesetting and offset printing in the 1970s–1980s, through the transition to graphic tools and web environments in the 1980s–1990s, to today's experimental work transcending material and immaterial forms. The exhibition examines the dynamic relationship between technological advancement and visual culture, broadening the foundations of Korean art.
