City in Three Acts : Aesthetic, Media, Machine

Conception, Aesthetic Structures
Conception is the initial vision that shapes the aesthetic structures of a city, guiding how urban spaces are perceived and experienced through their visual and sensory elements.

Representation, Urban Landscape
Representation transforms these aesthetic structures into a tangible urban landscape, where images, media, and societal influences define the way we interact with and understand the city.

Construction, Artificial Intelligence
Construction, supported by artificial intelligence, allows for the dynamic redesign and reimagination of urban landscapes, enabling cities to evolve and adapt to new cultural and technological influences.

Synthetic Spectacle: Collaging Urban Experience Through AI

This project, grounded in Guy Debord’s theory of the spectacle, uses AI to digitally overlay Seoul’s urban imagery onto Los Angeles. It visualizes how media and consumer culture distort urban experience, transforming cities into branded, image-driven spectacles detached from direct reality.
