Amorepacific Museum of Art presents Elmgreen & Dragset’s Spaces

Published

on

First-ever survey of the duo’s spatial practice and the most extensive presentation in Asia to date

From a full-scale family house to a public pool, the artists present five immersive installations

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Amorepacific Museum of Art is pleased to present Elmgreen & Dragset: Spaces.

The internationally acclaimed artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset have continually redefined exhibition-making and the ways in which art can be experienced. Presenting five distinct immersive installations—a full-scale family house, a public pool, a restaurant, an industrial kitchen, and an artist’s atelier—this exhibition marks their 30th year of collaboration and their most extensive presentation in Asia to date.

Michael Elmgreen (Copenhagen, Denmark; 1961-) and Ingar Dragset (Trondheim, Norway; 1969-) have worked together as an artist duo since 1995. While many of their early works directly engaged with the architecture of exhibition spaces, their practice has evolved to focus on large-scale, immersive installations that recreate familiar scenes from everyday life. By placing their artworks within these environments, they challenge conventional exhibition formats and excavate the underlying values embedded in the places and objects that shape our public and private lives. Renowned for their large-scale installations such as Prada Marfa (2005), Van Gogh’s Ear (2016), the duo was shortlisted for the Hugo Boss Prize, Guggenheim Museum, New York (2000) and won the Preis der Nationalgalerie, Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2002). They received special mention for their presentation The Collectors at the 53rd Venice Biennale and was selected for the London’s Fourth Plinth Commission in 2012.

Spaces, the first-ever survey of Elmgreen & Dragset’s spatial practice, presents five immersive space-specific installations that feature a combination of existing works and new works by the artists. The family house, titled Shadow House, extends the artist duo’s investigation on the idea of home by presenting an actual architectural entity. The public swimming pool, the leitmotif of Elmgreen & Dragset’s practice is a remark on disappearing communal civic spaces. The Cloud, the high-end restaurant may serve as a commentary on how the culinary experience are now consumed on both a sensorial and digital level. During regular opening hours, it will appear deserted except for a lifelike figure of a young woman seemingly in the middle of a FaceTime conversation. The industrial-style kitchen hints at the conversion between the kitchen and a laboratory, where molecular gastronomy gains popularity in fine dining business. The studio space shows the artists’ white-lacquered figural sculptures in various poses of creative art-making.

In the sequence of spaces, the visitors are invited to wander around and discover narrative threads to piece together their own version of the story that each space is relaying. Within the myriad web of details that hint at underlying narratives, Spaces will be a place to get lost in. The Amorepacific Museum of Art hopes that our visitors will discover a unique opportunity to uncover unexpected interpretations of everyday realities.

AglaiaSense and Leopard Imaging to Demonstrate Privacy-First AI Traffic Sensing at Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona

Published

on

By

FREMONT, Calif. and BARCELONA, Spain, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AglaiaSense and Leopard Imaging will exhibit together at Smart City Expo World Congress, November 3–5, 2026, at Fira Barcelona Gran Vía.

The two companies proposed AI-VIVA (Vision Intelligence for València and Arterials) and is selected as a finalist in the fifth urban challenge of Barcelona Innova Lab Mobility (BILM), on the application of artificial intelligence to traffic-light regulation. AI-VIVA combines AglaiaSense’s edge-AI traffic solutions with Leopard Imaging’s patented privacy architecture. At the show, the team will give a live demonstration of AglaiaSense’s signature MS500 and GS500 cameras, with the AglaiaSense AI Box, powered by NVIDIA, which adds local processing to coordinate groups of neighboring intersections.

The cameras analyze images inside the device, using the Sony IMX500 and IMX501 intelligent vision sensors. They count and classify vehicles, buses, cyclists and pedestrians in real time. Raw video is discarded on the device within 400–800 milliseconds, and only anonymous metadata is transmitted. Cities can feed that data into signal-control software to adapt traffic lights to real demand.

MS500: about 2 W average power, 1080p, powered from a standard NEMA or ZHAGA street-light socket.

GS500: about 6.5 W average, dual 4K cameras, with Ethernet, LTE Cat 4 and GPS; powered by PoE, 12–24 V DC or a NEMA adapter.

Both cameras: IP66-rated, −20 °C to +65 °C, mounted on existing poles, so no trenching or new masts are needed.

Bandwidth: more than 95% lower than CCTV-based monitoring.

“Cities want safer, smoother streets without turning every crossing into a surveillance point,” said Leon Luo, CEO of AglaiaSense. “Being named a finalist in Barcelona tells us the approach resonates.”

“Privacy has to be built into the camera, not added later,” said Bill Pu, CEO of Leopard Imaging.

AglaiaSense’s solutions are deployed across North America and Asia, and the company won first place in the Pedestrian Safety Challenge Hackathon, run by the Edge AI Foundation (formerly the tinyML Foundation) and the City of San José. In field tests, the systems achieved detection and counting accuracy above 95%. The City of Lakewood, Colorado, compared the GS500 with traditional IP cameras and LiDAR on real roads and found it more accurate, more energy-efficient, and less costly to deploy. At a high-risk crossing where pedestrians often crossed outside the crosswalk, the system alerted approaching drivers in real time.

Visit us at Pavilion 3, Level 0, Street D, Stand 71. To book a meeting, email sales@aglaiasense.com.

About AglaiaSense

AglaiaSense, is an edge-AI company specializing in privacy-first, vision-based sensing for smart cities. Its GS500 and MS500 cameras run AI on the image sensor to count and classify road users in real time and send only anonymous metadata.

About Leopard Imaging

Leopard Imaging is a global leader in high-definition embedded cameras and AI-based imaging solutions in industries including automotive, aerospace, drones, IoT, and robotics.
