Painting Performance: A painting performance related to media art exhibition and exhibition from November 26, 2020 to November 27, 2020 (picture 'Song·Ha·Sun·In·Chui·Saeng·Do” by Louis Choi Chul-joo' demonstration), and a painting work produced by head of the academic research department of research at the Minoo Media Art Museum
The meaning of the <"Shin•Yun•Bok•Poong•Ju•Mil•Hoe•Do"=“Song·Ha·Sun·In·-Chui·Saeng·Do” by Louis Chul-joo Choi>, painted by Chul-joo Choi, is metaphorical, such as the structure of language, so it is not the same as the shape of <"Shin•Yun•Bok•Poong•Ju•Mil•Hoe•Do"=“Song·Ha·Sun·In·Chui·Saeng·Do” by Louis Choi Chul-joo>.
As a reality that owns instantaneous time, it is an unexistent painting that overlaps wind with other forms and images.
And he replaces the virtual image drawn by the lack of self-created location of the true form of the <“Song·Ha·Sun·In·-Chui·Saeng·Do” by Louis Choi Chul-joo> with other modern painting and decorates the actuality of the inner image of the <“Song·Ha·Sun·In·-Chui·Saeng·Do” by Louis Choi Chul-joo>

Media art "Shin•Yun•Bok•Poong•Ju•Mil•Hoe•Do" is a cartoon image of a cartoonist Louis Choi Chul-joo, who reconstructed Shin Yun-bok's folk painting after seeing Kim Hong-do's “Song·Ha·Sun·In·Chui·Saeng·Do”
Therefore, another proposition of Shin•Yun•Bok•Poong•Ju•Mil•Hoe•Do" is "Song·Ha·Sun·In·Chui·Saeng·Do".
This is a general reflection of the scene where men and women secretly go out to meet to express their love on windy days. Here, the cartoon image expresses affection, but the cartoon images are not involved in the symbolic image.
Thus, the boat play and bath scenes were reconstructed into cartoons that express the affection between men and women in the same way as the original painting by Shin Yun-bok, which depicts the daily lives of women in the Joseon Dynasty.
Considering the fact that Shin Yun-bok's paintings, which satirizes daily life, is similar to that of a cartoon, the cartoon composition of "Shin•Yun•Bok•Poong•Ju•Mil•Hoe•Do" was partially drawn and matched with a close-up scene like the one-cut series of "Roy Lichtenstein.“
Thus, as a cartoon media art of popular art, "Shin•Yun•Bok•Poong•Ju•Mil•Hoe•Do" is seen as a series of cartoon cuts aimed at satirizing the status quo of Joseon Dynasty society with cartoon images.
In line with the scene of boat play and bathing by the river as a cartoon image, the sound is the Vivaldi's "summer" of the four seasons, giving a glimpse of the positive contemporary image.
As such, cartoon media art is carried out in a popular art way rather than in a media that reveals social problems.
In the middle of the summer, boat play, gisaeng, men who peeked at women bathing by the river, and boats were drawn in several cartoons to move boats playing in the river. The surrounding figures harmoniously reconstructed the relaxed light and shadow of the gisaeng, men, and landscape.
"Shin•Yun•Bok•Poong•Ju•Mil•Hoe•Do" is shown in the media space as a media with cartoon images of the realistic representation of social mannerism, such as Manet's "The Luncheon on the Grass".
It balances the real customs with media art reproduced in animated images. Although the appearance of a woman in the Joseon Dynasty, where Shin Yun-bok bathes, shows sociality, but "Shin•Yun•Bok•Poong•Ju•Mil•Hoe•Do" which were reborn as unrealistic cartoons, focus on the pictorial cartoon characteristics of painting style.
The Cartoon painting style of the Joseon Dynasty, which emphasizes media art by moving the cartoon image, was seen as a cartoon so as not to deviate from the relationship between the real landscape and the characters.
And to express the characteristics of media art, Sin Yun-bok's paintings were reconstructed to create a series of cartoon images based on the play culture of the Joseon.
