A multi-venue event in Seoul called 'Signal on Sale' showcases digital artworks that visitors can experience and purchase like everyday products. Works range from performance-turned-audio pieces by veteran conceptual artist Seong Neung-kyung—who recorded the sound of swinging a straw broom and packaged it with a speaker—to Inse-in Park’s limited ‘vandalism’ kits (a USB with CCTV footage, spray paint and mask) sold as editions for 220,000 KRW. International artist Kevin Heisner offers a playful 100-copy NFT piece priced at 20,000 KRW each, sold blind-box style; packages include a hologram card, edible jelly, and a QR code linking to a short cloud animation plus ownership proof (NFT). Other exhibits blend hardware and files: Kim Jun’s rotating wooden structure plays different nature recordings collected in Gangwon-do, and Chu Mirim’s pixelated city video comes as a USB and monitor, with the artist offering two years of after-sales service (A/S). The show aims to make digital art feel familiar and collectible, expanding art into everyday consumption while encouraging hands-on engagement.
