Lee Seunghwan, artist from Korea, is exploring memory as a field of negotiation between reality and its algorithmic representation.
His work centers on hybrid practice, where in situ observation of landscapes – like those of the series Forest of Fontainebleau – is confronted with interpretations generated by artificial intelligence. By loading GPS coordinates and visual data into AI tools, the artist generates images that he then reworks with acrylic paint or drawing, creating works that fluctuate between documentary fidelity and digital distortion.
These landscapes, neither fully real nor entirely fictional, reveal the contradictions between what we perceive and what technology produces as a representation of our environment.
By revealing the visual artifacts and aesthetic choices of AI, Lee questions how our technological tools are reshaping our relationship with memory and territory.
His works turn into subjective maps, where intimate knowledge of places overlaps with interpretations shaped by algorithms, inviting viewers to question the reliability of their own perceptions.
For Lee, memory is not a data, but a dynamic construction, constantly reinvented through the lens of contemporary technologies

Presentation
Seunghwan Lee, born on January 7, 1989, is a Korean visual artist exploring the mutations of our connection with nature in our digital society. He lives and works between South Korea and France.
After graduating in visual arts from the École Nationale Supérieure d'Art et de Design in Nancy, he specialized in sculpture at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. He then obtained a master's degree in Visual Arts and Contemporary Creation at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, where he is actually completing a PhD under the supervision of Marion Laval-Jeantet. His thesis, entitled “Will reality, constantly virtualized by algorithms, collapse?", explores the implications of algorithmic quantification on our perception of living beings and ecosystems.
His work focuses on the transformation of natural landscapes by digital technologies. Using GPS data and generative artificial intelligence, he produces hybrid images that are halfway between reality and simulacrum. His iconic series, such as “Terrarium Synthétique – Protocole d'Autonomie" (Synthetic Terrarium – Autonomy Protocol) and “Forêt de Fontainebleau" (Fontainebleau Forest), illustrate this approach: he collects data in the field, feeds them into algorithms, and then reinterprets the results through paintings, drawings, or installations.
His creations unveil the hidden structures of virtual landscapes, highlighting the contradictions between nature's autonomy and its increasing control by technology. For example, in “Leaf²π," he quantifies leaves and branches to create calculated versions of them, emphasizing the contrast between the uncertainty of living things and the predictability of digital systems.
Seunghwan Lee has exhibited his work in institutions and galleries in South Korea, France, and Belgium. His solo exhibitions include “Borders of Uncertainty" at the CICA Museum (Gimpo, South Korea) and “Limited Uncertainty" at CYART Gallery (Seoul). He has also participated in numerous group exhibitions.
His projects have also been presented at events such as “GSAF" at ADM Gallery (Seoul), “Être et Paraître" at the Korean Cultural Center (Paris), and “3m²" at Galerie Beaubourg (Paris).
His approach, at the intersection of ecology, philosophy, and new technologies, makes him an emerging figure in contemporary art, inviting critical reflection on the future of ecosystems in our digital world.
