What is “Pan”?

The title of this work, Pan, is an Korean word that has several different meanings such as a plate, a disk, a place, a stage, etc. This word instinctively stands for a plate that is matching to the interface of the work, at first hand. But the plenty of its meaning is lying on the spatial definition. Korean folks set Pan for a delight performance where people gather. The public are invited to join and enjoy all together. In this work, Pan is implying all these meanings and accommodating activities by giving a tangible interactive medium. Live activities in tradition are interpreted as softened dynamics in visual.
