The Art Dome Pavilion by Hyunje Joo, located in Samcheok, South Korea, is designed to mimic sunlight on water using 8,000 transparent acrylic pixels. These pixels shift and shimmer with the coastal breeze, creating a structure that responds to its environment. The pavilion's surface reflects changing light conditions throughout the day, while offering visitors a sensory experience that blurs the boundaries between land and sky. The installation features a continuous, curved surface created through careful alignment of the pixels, fostering a dialogue with the surrounding landscape rather than dominating it.
The Art Dome Pavilion rises from the sands of Maengbang Beach, comprising 8,000 acrylic pixels that shift and shimmer with the coastal breeze, creating an ephemeral installation.
Each transparent pixel is layered by hand, catching sunlight and sea breeze to create a dynamic surface that appears in motion, reflecting changing light conditions at the beach.
Visitors encounter a tactile boundary where layered material refracts the surrounding scene, resulting in a delicate sense of enclosure that is more optical than physical.
The pavilion captures the sunset and dusk, holding light within its shimmering pixels and dissolving the surrounding landscape into luminous fragments.
