			Thisweekendroom is the first planned exhibition in 2021, and from January 8th to 28th, Artist Hoonida kim's personal exhibition "Appetizer A to C for casual ears": Neo-product declaration will be held.
Hoonida Kim is a writer who has explored space with his own environmental device Apparatuses. His works, mainly completed through installation, performance, and shaping, are recognized with landscapes, including non-material elements such as sound, air, and vibration. In this exhibition, he proposed a new form of "neo-product" that would not be identified as an exhibition space, but would change the way the user thinks in everyday space. Prototype of 3 projects<appetizers A.Sound Table>, <appetizers B.Sound Shower>, <appetizers C..Sound Mirrors> not only effectively implements the senses of the product name, but also implements the senses of the writer. In order to lead neo-products into long-term projects, the author announced seven declarations and launched a website (http://neoproduct.net) that defines new product concepts and values.


author's notebook
The development of accelerating technology not only makes life convenient, but now it is also the biggest factor that influences culture, the way of thinking, and the social system. The method of consuming art as well as the method of feeling and bodyization are also changing in the same way. Now we may have to read them again, doubting that they are the 'real' that we believed in. This project started with this idea.
The author has been closely watching the form of a "trigger" that causes a change of mind through a device for performing and communicating something. This kind of interest shifted to the idea that the writer's daily life should have such a role. In the midst of this, I began to focus on the form of "products" because I was interested in furniture, lighting, and other things that could play a variety of roles in the room, not in museums, but in indoor spaces where "private immersion" is possible.
Up until now, the purpose of the product has been to increase the efficiency of real life and make something convenient. As people used it in their homes, aesthetic aspects gradually became as important as functional aspects. When a product is required to have a strong presence at times, and to be made in a form that does not tire of using it, it may produce products that are overly attached to its artistic form rather than its original function.
Here, the author proposes a new product format called "Neo Product". Neo-products are introduced in a variety of long-term projects, introducing a new way to re-examine the form of the product and to consume art and sound to appreciate the visual and auditory senses. "Neo-products aim above all to ""use for the spirit of the user (switch of change of perspective)"" and ""reflect yourself by looking at the object"""
"Neo-product" means to declare and define a product that functions as a private entity, rather than sticking it to an efficient and mechanical function. At the outset of the presentation of new values and points that will rediscover the concept of the product, seven declarations will be presented with prototypes of the neo-product.
