"Swiping, scrolling, instagrammin’,
catching a regular selfie… It all seems so familiar these days. But what
if we had this technology decades ago? That’s exactly what the “Art x
Smart” project, by Korean illustrator Kim Dong-Kyu, explores. By
injecting 21st century gadgets into famous historical artworks, he takes
us to a utopian reality where ancient and modern times meet." From here
"The author of this project, Kim
Dong-Kyu, doesn’t seem to be short on humor. For example, he took a
classic like van Gogh’s “The Room” and turned it into a hipsterish
studio apartment with a neon city bike and miles of charger wires. Apart
from being absurdly funny, these works also draw attention to our
relationship with new technologies and their influence on modern
society. By comparing the originals and their remakes, you can
experience an uprising feeling of loneliness, alienation and shallowness
in those where the subjects are tethered to modern technologies." From here
