Silhak Dance

Silhak Dance is an interactive media installation featuring a digital character of Kim Yuk, a leading scholar of the Silhak (Practical Learning) movement. The virtual Kim Yuk mimics the audience’s body movements in real time, creating a playful and educational dance interaction.
When Kim Yuk taps on a classical Chinese poem, a Korean translation instantly appears on the screen, bridging historical texts with contemporary understanding. This work merges motion-based interaction, historical education, and digital play to reintroduce Joseon-era scholarship through embodied learning.
