Can you achieve perfect communication?
“Illusion of Communication” is an interactive art project. This project includes various type of artworks.

Users can participate in each of these parts to experience unique communication.

‘Confiding’ is an interactive installation space where visitors communicate through a new chat system and their conversations are transformed into visual patterns.

‘Sharing’ is an open space for artist performances. When the visitors finish their conversation from ‘Confiding’, the artist translates it into their respective flavors and serve it as a small drink for the users.

‘Spreading’ is an interactive sculpture where the users can share their stories by speaking into a spout located on the sculpture. It records and transforms the told stories, which are then randomly dispersed through holes in the sculpture. This allows people to not only hear stories from others, but also leave their own stories anonymously.
