Lee Yong-baek's disturbing Angel Soldier exemplifies the times we live in. At first the large wall projection looks like a brightly colored field of flowers. The viewer gets disoriented as the brain perceives the bright flowers as happy symbols, but when a camouflaged figure starts to emerge, clutching a rifle, the happy image suddenly becomes nightmarish.
Slowed down digital art, encourages deeper reflection on the messages conveyed through conceptual art.
