His installation Echoes of Currents visualizes the subtle forces shaping our environment—tides, winds, and vibrations. Embedded in sand, dozens of switchable films shift between transparency and opacity, driven by real-time weather data. The rhythmic transitions evoke pale waves brushing across a darkened shore—an ecological pulse animated by atmospheric flows, historical speculation, and environmental data.
Echoes of Currents ties the present to a deeper geological memory.
Dadaepo Beach subway station is a site that once lay beneath a shifting shoreline navigable only by boat. In collaboration with a KIOST scientist, Lee integrated tidal data from Dadaepo spanning from the 16th century to the present, reimagining the temporal evolution of Busan’s coastline.
More than a visual interface, the installation operates as a non-human entity- sensing, responding and modulating its own rhythm in relation to external conditions. Through the work, Lee opens a liminal zone where climate, memory, and transformation intersect, proposing a sensory journey to rediscover the fluid landscape and its submerged rhythms.
