🎨 What Is a Living Exhibition?

The “Living Exhibition” is an immersive format that combines art, technology, and performance. It transforms traditional galleries into interactive spaces where artworks respond to visitors — by moving, sounding, glowing, or even breathing.

This concept turns a passive viewer into an active participant — evoking curiosity, wonder, and emotional connection.


💡 How It Works

Location: Black-box gallery, loft, abandoned building, science center, or tech-art festival.

Artworks: Created in collaboration between visual artists, performers, engineers, and new media designers.


🔁 Example Interactions:

  • A sculpture that vibrates when someone gets closer
  • A painting that changes colors based on a viewer’s heartbeat (through a wearable)
  • An installation that unlocks hidden layers via smartphone AR
  • A performer slowly completing an artwork live during the exhibition
  • A ceiling that expands and contracts like it’s “breathing,” triggered by ambient sounds


🎧 Add-Ons:

  • Artist voiceovers in the audio guide
  • Evening sessions with ambient or experimental live music
  • “Make Your Own Living Object” zone for kids using tablets or modular sets


👥 Ideal For:

  • Art lovers seeking fresh experiences
  • Urban creatives and tech-savvy audiences
  • Families and children
  • Collaborations with universities, design studios, or media labs



🎟 Ticket Tiers:

  • General admission
  • Interactive pass (with access to sensor-based works)
  • Creator access (includes workshop participation + bonus evening program)

🌀 "Living Exhibitions" tap into the human need to interact, touch, and feel — creating deeper and more memorable artistic connections. It's not just an event. It's an experience that responds to you.
