South Korean artist Ok Seung-chul's solo exhibition 'Prototype' is currently being held at Lotte Museum in Seoul until October 26. Ok is known for his artwork resembling characters from Japanese manga and animation, which has made him particularly popular among the MZ generation—the demographic born roughly between the early 1980s and early 2000s. The exhibition features over 80 pieces, including both paintings and sculptures, exploring concepts of original and copy using digital forms. The unique layout of the exhibition space, including a cross-shaped entryway, offers visitors an immersive experience reminiscent of logging into a digital world. The display challenges the audience to reconsider the definitions and distinctions between original artworks and their reproductions in the digital age.
