Artistic and Cultural Inspirations
Bong Joon-ho ’ s Parasite and BTS ’ s “ Dynamite ” demonstrate multifaceted aspects of Korean arts and culture . The inspirations behind their creative endeavors can be found in fine arts , crafts , animation , and many other genres . The following venue offers unique charms and new experiences that tap into our diverse culture .
Paik Nam-june ( 1932 – 2006 ), is widely recognized as the founder of video art . The Museum DAH pays tribute to the man who inspired generations of Korean artists thereafter . The name DAH refers to digital , art , and house . The museum building itself is a work of digital art made with 80 million LEDs and an arena for creativity that looks like something out of a fantasy film . A standing party , reception , or any other event can be turned into a special occasion through the use of media art and videos . Located on Haeundae Beach , one of Korea ’ s most famous and popular beaches , it is only 700m from BEXCO ( Busan Exhibition and Convention Center ), 100m from the Busan Cinema Center ( official venue of the Busan International Film Festival ), and 500m from APEC Naru Park .
