주말 및 연휴동안 즐길 만한 공연은?... 디지털 기술로 만드는 예술, 팀랩 전시 DDP에서 만나요

It's Friday already and you know what that means.
Our arts and culture correspondent Kim Bo-kyoung is in the studio and today, she has has some tips on how to stay culturally fulfilled this weekend and over the upcoming Chuseok holiday.
Bo-kyoung, tell us, what kind of arts and cultural performances are there that will help us relieve stress - stress from work, stress from people... or stress from Covid?
Hi, Conn-young. Despite everything that's going on in the world at the moment, it is sometimes important to take a step back and remember how beautiful it is to just be 'alive'.
To remind us of this, globally renowned art collective group teamLab launched their new exhibition on life this Friday at Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul.
Let's take a peek and see what's on show.
Combining nature and digital technology, teamLab's latest exhibition, teamLab: life, hopes to inspire people and help them empty their minds.
Through this exhibition, the interdisciplinary, multi-national group of specialists such as artists, architects and CG animators,... explore the confluence of art, nature and technology.
The theme of their exhibition in Dongdaemun Design Plaza... is Life.
"In this exhibition, we've explored the continuity of life. Amid this tiring times of COVID-19, we hope this exhibition can make people feel how beautiful life can be, and think positively of the fact that we are alive regardless of what circumstances we're in."
Animals made up of flowers roam around the wall.
One sector shows how animals live inside the ecosystem, all embraced by the beating earth.
Another area shows 12 types of flowers blooming and withering along with the change of the seasons.
“This video projection artwork is titled Black Waves: Immersive Mass. If you follow the spiral path, you would feel as though you have become the part of the waves, overwhelmed by their power.”
One member of the group says they have changed the space structure by putting a great wall in the middle, so that people can feel immersed in the turbulent waves.
The highlight of the exhibition is a waterfall full of flowers.
"The waterway changes at the spot where people are standing and the water parts. Flowers blossom too. The more people, the more flowers come to life. It lets us consider others' existence positively."
teamLab's exhibition runs until next year April.
The exhibition looks fascinating. Now, Bo-kyoung, I'm pretty sure there are some people who just don't want to go out this Chuseok, and would rather stay home and relax. Are there any other performances that they can watch at home?
Sure, there must be loads of people who would like to just lie in bed and enjoy some culture online...
