The human aspiration for the perfect body is progressively becoming achievable through the development of science and technology. In contemporary Korean society, the constant pursuit of youth and a flawless appearance, coupled with our desire for the perfect body, becomes intertwined with the prevalent beauty standards and societal conventions of the time. This ongoing interaction consistently leads to the emergence of new beauty trends, services, and products. The digital space is no different. It mirrors these aspiration and trends. Today, the human desire for the perfect body is reflected in the emergence of digital humans with captivating appearances in the digital realm and is being mirrored by the widespread use of beauty filters in the realm of social media. The project <NeoTex Depot> starts from this context.

            <NeoTex Depot> is set in a near future society where digital humans live. This fictional setting provides a spatial and temporal background for the project. The societal longing for a flawless appearance and the perfect body no longer exist in the future digital space, as virtual humans can choose any appearance they desire. Ageing and death do not exist in the digital realm, and there are no limits to altering one’s innate physical form. Just with a simple click, the skins of humans can change variably. If a day comes when our bodies can be transformed even more freely, what new desires and values could emerge in the world of virtual humans? In this speculated scenario, how would the beauty devices used in today’s life be transformed into different shapes?

            <NeoTex Depot> starts from this context. The visual motif of the installation is inspired by a futuristic item inventory that stores wearable devices of digital humans living in a digital space. <NeoTex Depot> postulates a wearable beauty device for virtual humans in the future, then represent it in the form of a sculptural model, and realistic human skin textures are installed as part of sculptures in the public restrooms. Through the model of the device, public space and Instagram filter, this project explores the boundaries between the present and the future, the virtual and the real and between public and private spaces.
