WHAT:
The Music Center invites Angelenos and visitors of all ages to step into its Digital Arts Space on Jerry Moss Plaza to encounter and become “gwoemul,” shapeshifting beasts from Korean folklore, in The Music Center Presents BEASTS. This one-of-a-kind participatory installation, created by Los Angeles-based artists Scarlett Kim and Anthony Storniolo, teleports participants to a retro-futuristic world suspended between Seoul and Los Angeles, where mythology, memory and possibility converge.
Participants first choose the beast that calls to them. Using their bodies and movements, they step into the beast’s story and help shape its fate. They might play hide-and-seek with a slug, dance among a rat-human horde or explore a surreal underwater subway station.
The Music Center Presents BEASTS is a self-guided experience designed to be explored at participants’ own pace. They can follow one beast—or all of them. They can jump in and play, or simply watch the worlds unfold around them.
The Music Center Presents BEASTS is the latest free public art installation presented by The Music Center’s Digital Innovation Initiative (DII), designed to explore and create digital and immersive experiences that bridge technology and the arts.
