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

Over the last few decades, football has fully embraced technology in various ways. From wearable smart tech that acquires player data during games to goal line technology that ensures every legitimate goal is given, innovation has changed the way we play the beautiful game – and now how we experience it. In this spirit, LG Spain has teamed up with European giants Atlético de Madrid, a storied Spanish fútbol club with a passionate global fan base and rich legacy dating back to 1903, to deliver its cutting-edge signage products and technological innovations.
As an official sponsor of Atlético de Madrid for the next two seasons, LG Spain will install its LED signage throughout the magnificent Estadio Cívitas Metropolitano. The ellipse-shaped ribbon LED poised to adorn the stadium’s roof will not only deliver an immersive visual experience to fans, but also become one of the stadium’s most iconic design elements. Measuring 2,000 meters with mesh LED materials and a luminance of 7,500cd/m², this “sky ribbon” display is ready to captivate over 70,000 fans every week with its mesmerizing 360-degree visual effect.
At the entrance, four rounded outdoor LEDs will be installed, while a 45-square-meter LED banner display will welcome fans with LG’s exceptionally bright and high-resolution display technology. In addition, tunnel LED screens will be added to the wall and arches in the players’ tunnel to build anticipation and immersion as the players step out onto the pitch.
To ensure that this sponsorship transcends the pitch, LG Spain will support the club’s Ciudad del Deporte project, a state-of-the-art sports city expected to be completed by 2026 in collaboration with the local government. To this end, LG Spain aims to help modernize the sports city’s facilities through the wide implementation of its latest digital signage solutions.
This partnership underscores the confidence of Atlético de Madrid in LG’s display technologies, as this is not the first time they crossed paths. Back in 2017, LG Spain installed LED signage with a total size of 755-square-meter across its 88,000-square-meter stadium. This means its loyal fans are well aware of LG’s ability to vividly bring the match to life again with clear match replays and immersive club-related content.
“LG is the perfect partner to enhance the stadium experience for all spectators visiting the Cívitas Metropolitano,” said Óscar Mayo, director of Revenue and Operations at Atlético de Madrid. “Thanks to this new project, our stadium and future sports city will benefit from high-level display technology, exciting our fans that come from all around the world to see us play while setting a new technological standard.”
LG has a track record of installing highly impressive digital signage installations in arenas across Europe, including London’s iconic Wembley Stadium and ultra-modern Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Germany’s Deutsche Bank Park Stadium and Finland’s Nokia Arena. These installations helped deliver unforgettable match experiences for millions of spectators, which drives LG to bring the exceptional visual experience to more arenas across the world.

SEOUL, Mar. 13, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) is expanding its B2B business area and making significant strides into the global smart factory market by capitalizing on its expertise in constructing and operating intelligent autonomous factories.
Earlier this year, LG established the Smart Factory Business Division within its Production engineering Research Institute (PRI) and initiated the commercialization of its intangible assets, including smart factory construction technology and operational solutions. These innovations will be highlighted at MODEX 2024, the premier supply chain experience trade show, held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
LG’s smart factory business not only delivers production automation solutions but also incorporates AI-driven production planning, operations and the Digital Twin solution. The company aims to enhance customers’ manufacturing competitiveness by offering optimal solutions across all stages, from factory planning and design to construction and operation. Additionally, continuous improvement consulting services for factory upgrades will be available.
Aligned with LG’s vision of achieving a revenue of KRW 100 trillion by 2030, with the B2B sector targeting revenue exceeding KRW 40 trillion, the smart factory business serves as a cornerstone for LG’s B2B expansion. This endeavor is part of LG’s strategic focus on three key areas for future growth: accelerating non-hardware business models, expanding B2B businesses and developing new business domains.
Experienced in various aspects of the smart factory business, LG boasts extensive manufacturing expertise across diverse sectors such as home appliances, air solutions, TVs, vehicle components and robotics. What’s more, the company provides cutting-edge equipment and communication technologies, including big data-enabled integrated monitoring systems and predictive quality evaluation systems.
In addition to its manufacturing prowess, LG has secured essential digital technologies for building automated processes, including AI, big data and the Internet of Things (IoT).

This solution simulates actual machinery, equipment and logistics systems in a virtual environment, facilitating smooth integration and optimization of manufacturing processes.
These accomplishments have earned LG recognition for possessing world-class smart factory technology, encompassing hardware, software and automation solutions. Notably, the LG Smart Park in Changwon and the Tennessee factory in the USA were selected as Lighthouse Factories by the World Economic Forum.
With these capabilities, LG strengthens collaboration with various partners to expand the smart factory ecosystem. Following the signing of an MOU with LS ELECTRIC for the “Establishment of Smart Factory Business Cooperation System and Mutual Benefit Enhancement,” LG is forming unions with numerous global partners to advance smart factory technology through cloud and data analysis.

I recently updated the firmware on my LG43UH610V. Now I constantly get "Wired Lan cable disconnected" / "Wired network is connected" messages even while watching a video file from my NAS. The TV is connected and using the network while getting these messages. It has always been on a fixed IP address on the LAN.
