For 3 months, I created Kinetic Typography works with Korean alphabet(Hangeul) using creative coding, inspired by #36DaysOfType challenge. I uploaded them on Instagram to take full advantage of its grid structure. After some recompilation and edits, I made a video of the series and installed at Media Arts group exhibition in KOTE gallery, Seoul.

Each syllable of Hangeul embeds either certain meaning or grammatical function. I filled each grid with one syllable and visualize its meaning or function.

9 letters in a row form a poetic sentence. I restructured the words from Park Hyo Shin's I am A Dreamer album's songs to make a sentence.

Made with P5 JS, Matter JS, P5 Live.
