01 Planning
Pairing each piece with a masterpiece
Each piece in the program was paired with a painting by Klimt, Van Gogh, Vermeer, Kim Hong-do, Shin Yun- bok, or Lee Jung-seob. The tone and flow for each painting were defined so that it moves as if awakening to the mood of the music.
02 Design
A three-sided stage folded inward
The front and both side walls were angled slightly inward and the floor was also used as a projection surface, creating a three-dimensional museum on the concert stage. The layout of 20,000 ANSI lumen-class projectors and their projection areas was diagrammed.
03 Production
Giving time to still paintings
The paintings were extended horizontally with AI to fit a 2300×1078px ratio, and figures such as the White Ox were separated into layers and animated. Vermeer's Little Street was produced as a flow of light changing from dawn to night.
04 Operations
A stage that sings inside the paintings
Throughout the concert, masterpieces unfolded across the three walls and the floor behind the singers and musicians, changing scene with each piece. The operator ran the visuals from a console behind the audience, following the flow of the music.
