<BlackMood> is a project that captures the aesthetic sensibility of the Joseon Dynasty painting works into music and reinterprets and reveals it in media arts. The stage, built with image projection using more than two sides, is a project designed to convey the detailed techniques of Korean painting and the narration contained in the work interactively with the music so that the synchronization of past paintings and present musicians' consciousness can be conveyed via synesthesia. It is designed to be performed in various locations and can be expanded into long-term exhibitions.
