      Widely recognized by artists as the ultimate digital canvas, LG OLED continues to push the boundaries of artistic exploration and inspiration through art installations that defy convention. While LG OLED captivates art enthusiasts globally through its visionary artist collaborations, the dynamic and unique artistic spirit of Seoul remains a key source of the company’s inspiration.
      Aligning with this sentiment, Seoul Art Week, which recently held a series of art festivities that included world-famous Frieze Seoul, provided the opportune moment to demonstrate its profound dedication to Korea’s vibrant cultural landscape.
      As Frieze Seoul’s official headline partner for the second consecutive year, LG captured the hearts of art aficionados worldwide with a collaborative exhibition, Suh Se Ok X LG OLED: Reimagined by Suh Do Ho, Shaped by Suh Eul Ho, that honored the creative legacy of Suh Se Ok, the late Korean abstract ink painter revered for his exquisite brushwork and poignant human forms.

      As a heartfelt homage to a true master of his craft, this exhibition reunited Suh with his two sons, artist Suh Do Ho and architect Suh Eul Ho, for a touching reimagination of his iconic masterpieces through the creative lens of his kin. To ensure the Suh brothers had all the tools required to create something befitting their father, LG provided its transparent OLED TVs as a groundbreaking artistic medium that can explore the infinite possibilities and depth of ink painting in a whole new dimension.

      Acclaimed installation artist Suh Do Ho brought his father’s Circle of Life and Wayfarer artworks to life through distinctive animated shorts, with a stunning installation comprised of eight transparent OLED TVs serving as a mesmerizing backdrop. The ethereal, lucid screens created the illusion of a floating canvas to curate a captivating, multi-dimensional experience that seamlessly blended physical and digital mediums.

      On the other hand, Architect Suh Eul Ho took creative rein as the exhibition’s spatial designer. Leveraging the pristine images of LG OLED and the dynamic possibilities of transparent displays, he was able to meticulously arrange the artworks to form one cohesive, awe-inspiring experience. This way, visitors could fully appreciate the individual layers of each piece while admiring an expansive view of the space’s ever-shifting landscape.

      For the first time in its long history of collaborations with artists, LG’s innovative transparent OLED TVs became an integral part of the artwork. These cutting-edge screens, which are unrivalled when it comes to harmonizing original artworks with their digital reinterpretations, blend timeless legacy with creative innovation like no other can.
      In addition to the seamless fusion of art and technology on show at Frieze Seoul, LG reinforced its commitment to Seoul’s art scene by sponsoring several more events during Seoul Art Week. At the K11 Moon Party, which celebrated Korea’s Moon Festival and debuted the K11 Art Foundation’s first generative art exhibition Lunar Water, LG’s state-of-the-art OLED screens illuminated the city with immersive visual experiences that accentuate the digital artworks on display.

      Poignantly intersecting cultural tradition and modern artistic expression, artists a’strict, Tyler Hobbs and Cheng Ran shared their unique interpretations of the moon and its mysteries: a’strict’s Waterfall — Sands presented a majestic visual representation of a cascading waterfall; Tyler Hobbs pioneering NFTs Fidenza #575 and #938 explored the union of digital and analogue art; and Cheng Ran first-ever generative artwork, Self-miracle, presented a reimagined version of his film, In Course of the Miraculous. Meanwhile, LG’s dazzling OLED displays highlighted the full potential of featured works, with the moon’s magic seemingly descending to Earth in an unforgettable way.
      In support of another cultural initiative held during Seoul Art Week, LG’s OLED screens were once again transformed into digital canvases, this time for the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art’s (MMCA) Connecting Bodies exhibition, the first of many projects to be undertaken under LG’s three-year partnership with the museum.
      Exploring the concepts of connectivity and the digital evolution of our physical forms, this exhibition utilized LG OLED’s unmatched visuals to showcase immersive, interactive installations that respond in unique ways to movement and touch. Through groundbreaking technology, this unique exhibition ushers in a new era of art – an age where boundaries between the physical and digital worlds blend seamlessly through new creative mediums.
      Although Seoul Art Week may have come to a successful close, the LG OLED ART journey, as well as the creative possibilities of LG’s cutting-edge screens, continue to live on to inspire and astound the masses throughout 2024 and beyond. To follow every step of this journey, stay tuned to

      2024 is a special milestone for LG Electronics in Australia and New Zealand, raising a glass to 30 incredible years of innovation, happy customers and serious growth. From humble beginnings as Lucky Goldstar back in 1994, LG Electronics Australia and New Zealand has come a long way, now established as a global consumer technology powerhouse, all thanks to the amazing support of customers and staff. From 24 staff members in 1994 to over 300 today, the LG Electronics Australia and New Zealand team dedication has been pivotal to the company’s growth.

      Driven by innovation, LG’s 30-year journey has been packed with world-firsts and innovations across various industries. From IT products such as UltraWide and curved monitors that revolutionized the gaming industry, to the lightest laptop that made working on-the-go a breeze, and the smallest projector that turned any room into a home theater. And let’s not forget about LG TVs. LG’s leadership in OLED technology has brought breathtaking picture quality that delivers vibrant colors and perfect blacks. We’ve also been busy in the kitchen with the InstaView fridges that let you peek inside without opening the door, while UVnano technology brings a whole new level of hygiene to the home. And who could forget about our game changing TwinWash and WashTower designs that have made laundry day a whole lot easier.

      At a celebratory event for LG employees, LG staff were brought together to reminisce about the company’s incredible 30-year journey in Australia and New Zealand. With a mission to make life better through technology, LG’s Life’s Good mantra – which originated in Australia in 1999 – perfectly captures the Aussie spirit, and the reinvigorated brand promise in “Life’s Good with Optimism,” showcases how positivity can help in embracing a brighter, more positive future.

      The 30th anniversary celebration was a time to reflect on past achievements and look forward to the future with optimism. To commemorate three decades of success, LG organized a special event in Australia and New Zealand with activities designed to bring Life’s Good with Optimism amongst their employees to life. This included a video photo booth where staff could record messages and stories about what they’re feeling optimistic about. These personal reflections, focused on driving positivity among employees, were shared on social media with the hashtags #LifesGood and #OptimismYourFeed.

      As a customer-focused brand, LG is a passionate champion of optimism. This celebration encouraged employees to participate in the global “Optimism your feed” social movement to infuse positivity across our social media feeds and create positive changes by being intentional with our activities both online and in the real world.

      Overall, the 30th anniversary celebrations underscored LG’s dedication to fostering a culture of optimism and innovation in Australia and New Zealand, a physical example of actively bringing to life LG’s brand promise of Life’s Good.

As part of the agreement, the two companies will be able to seamlessly support customers who choose to combine LG’s LED displays and controllers with Mo-Sys’s XR products and systems to create a total solution for XR.
      “We’re excited by this new partnership, and by the unique value we’ll be able to deliver to customers through combining LG’s mastery of display technology with Mo-Sys’s expertise in virtual production solutions,” said Paik Ki-mun, senior vice president and head of the Information Display business unit of LG Business Solutions Company. “LG will continue to pursue collaboration with partners to strengthen its capabilities as a provider of B2B solutions and innovative experiences.”
      Michael Geissler, CEO of Mo-Sys Engineering, commented, “We are delighted to have LG’s support as we continue to innovate in the field of next-generation virtual production technology. Their investment will enable us to enhance our R&D efforts, drive sustainability, and create more efficient production solutions.”
