Introduction to the work

Fusion of Art and Technology: Crafting a New Future Together with Robots
Amid the wave of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, AI and robotic technologies have advanced to a stage where they can learn from and respond to human life, labor, and even emotions. <Gyogam (Access)>, which presents robots not merely as machines but as active performers who emotionally respond and collaboratively create narratives, was conceived to explore the possibilities of emotional interaction between humans and robots at this pivotal moment in history. <Gyogam (Access)> is Korea’s only robotic art circus performance that combines an industrial robot arm (KR300 R2700-2) with circus performance, where human vitality and mechanical precision meet on stage to create a new sensory experience. The robot transcends its mechanical nature to breathe alongside actors as a character, and the audience experiences unfamiliarity and intimacy, boundaries and connection, simultaneously in the scenes where they intersect. <Gyogam (Access)> experiments with the artistic potential of robotic technology, aiming to reduce the sense of alienation toward new technologies and expand the boundaries of art. This performance, where humans and robots respond to each other’s movements in harmony, envisions a future where technology and art coexist. The coexistence of humans and machines is no longer a choice but an essential contemporary issue we must confront to thrive in today’s world.

* Youngho Lee (Director)
Youngho Lee is the founder and lead creator of FORCE, a performance arts company that uses the body as its primary language under the belief that "the body is humanity’s first and most honest universal language." A graduate of the Department of Acting at Seoul Institute of the Arts, he began his career on large-scale musical and performance stages before establishing FORCE to pursue original creative work. Thereafter, he has participated in training programs at various institutions both in Korea and abroad, consistently exploring ways to integrate physical performance with contemporary technology.

His works combine technology and narrative in creative circus performances, capturing contemporary sentiments and social awareness while aiming for a deep emotional resonance with the audience.
