YDP Artsquare Living Geometry Guide: Free KAIST XD Lab Media Art Exhibition in Yeongdeungpo

YDP Artsquare Living Geometry is a free special exhibition presented with KAIST Experience Design Lab at YDP Artsquare in Times Square, Yeongdeungpo. Running from May 1 to June 28, 2026, the exhibition frames Yeongdeungpo’s layered urban identity through media art, geometric form, and spatial experience.¹

For visitors, the essential point is simple: the exhibition is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with last admission at 17:45, at YDP Artsquare on basement level 2 of Times Square, 15 Yeongjung-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.¹ KAIST XD Lab also identifies the venue as YDP Artsquare in Times Square basement level 2 and notes that admission is free with no reservation required.²

YDP Artsquare Living Geometry: What to Know Before Visiting

Living Geometry is not presented as a conventional display of static objects. The exhibition is described as a media art special exhibition built around Yeongdeungpo’s history of industrialization, finance, and cultural experimentation, using those overlapping layers to redefine the city as “Living Geometry,” or “living geometry” in a more literal English rendering.¹

KAIST XD Lab describes the 2026 exhibition as a media art project featuring four artists: Kang Yiyun, Choi Jung Yoon, Hwang Intae, and Seo Minhyuk. Across the exhibition, visitors can encounter seven works in formats that include single-channel video, interactive installation, and web art.² That range matters for planning a visit because the show is likely to reward slow viewing rather than a quick walk-through, especially where screen-based and interactive works are involved.

The listed works are ‘Vanishing 2.0’, ‘Technosphere’, ‘Post-Vanishing’, ‘City’scape + Tied’, ‘Goldilocks’, ‘Vessel’, and ‘∫’.³ The overview page explains the exhibition through the idea of reading the city and its landscapes as a pulsating organism, a useful way to understand why the works connect geometry with urban life rather than treating geometry as only a formal visual style.³

A report on the exhibition also presents it as a project that explores the boundary between art and design through geometric form and spatial perception. In the same source, a YDP Artsquare representative describes the exhibition as “a project that newly conveys artistic imagination and spatial experience through geometric structures.”⁴ That short statement is a helpful guide to the intended visitor experience: the show is about how structure, space, image, and interaction can change the way a city is perceived.

Admission, Hours, Location, and Contact Details

The exhibition period is May 1 to June 28, 2026. Since the current date is May 22, 2026, the exhibition is already underway and remains available through June 28, 2026, based on the posted schedule.¹ The official operating hours are 10:00 to 18:00 every day, and visitors should note the 17:45 last-admission time.¹

The venue is YDP Artsquare, located at Times Square basement level 2, 15 Yeongjung-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.¹ A Seoul National University College of Fine Arts notice gives an additional wayfinding detail, listing the site as Times Square basement level 2, Gate 14, YDP Artsquare.⁵ For a practical visit, that Gate 14 detail may be useful once inside or near the Times Square complex.

Admission is free, and KAIST XD Lab states that visitors can view the exhibition without making a reservation.² The SNU ART notice also lists the exhibition as free and provides the YDP Artsquare phone number, 02-3457-7751, for inquiries.⁵ If visiting with a group, planning around the final admission time is the most important logistical step available from the source material.

The exhibition is positioned as accessible to a broad audience. Korea IT Industry News reported that the free admission format expands cultural and artistic experience for all ages.⁴ However, the available source material does not give a recommended viewing time, age restriction, guided-tour schedule, parking information, or holiday-closure exception, so visitors should rely only on the listed daily hours unless checking directly with the venue.

What the Exhibition Is About

Living Geometry connects art, design, data, and the city. Artgram describes the exhibition as reinterpreting Yeongdeungpo’s complex landscape, where industry, finance, and culture intersect, as a living organism.⁶ It also identifies KAIST Experience Design Lab as the planning body and explains that the exhibition uses data visualization and immersive media to examine the relationship between the city and human beings.⁶

That makes the exhibition especially relevant for visitors interested in media art, urban studies, design research, interactive installation, or digital approaches to place. The show’s theme is grounded in Yeongdeungpo rather than in abstract geometry alone: the district’s industrial, financial, and cultural layers provide the context for the works. The result, based on the available descriptions, is an exhibition where geometry functions as a way to read urban movement, memory, and structure.

Because the works include video, interactive installation, and web art, visitors may want to allow enough time to experience pieces at their own pace. The sources do not provide a fixed route or required order, so the most practical approach is to treat the exhibition as an open media art presentation and move through the works according to the venue layout.
