KT Onmaru - My Framer Site

Easywith participated in the development of KT Onmaru, a brand experience center located at KT’s Gwanghwamun headquarters, planning and producing media art and interactive content that brings Korea’s 140-year telecommunication history to life. Drawing on historical materials preserved in KT’s Wonju Archive, the project traces KT’s legacy of connectivity—from the introduction of telegraph services in Gwanghwamun in 1885 to today’s 5G and AI era—through a wide range of media art experiences.

The “Corridor of Time” is an experiential exhibition that explores the evolution of Korea’s information and communications technology across five eras: telegraph, telephone, internet, mobile communication, and hyper-connectivity.

In “Act 1: Telegraph,” projection mapping depicts the installation of Korea’s early telegraph poles, while an interactive experience allows visitors to write their own telegram and watch it travel along the telegraph wire.

“Act 2: Telephone” presents the evolution of telecommunications, from Deokryulpung—Korea’s earliest name for the telephone—to public telephones and telephone cards. Visitors can step into the role of a telephone operator by connecting calls through a manual switchboard and create their own personalized telephone cards through an interactive DIY experience.

“Act 3: Internet” recreates the early days of internet communication through an interactive HiTEL experience. In “Act 4: Mobile,” visitors can experience “ppippi” (pagers), an early form of mobile communication in Korea, by entering the numeric codes commonly used to exchange messages at the time. They can also become the stars of mobile telecommunications advertisements from different eras through an AI-powered photo booth. Finally, “Act 5: Hyper-Connectivity” uses transparent OLED displays to envision a future of limitless connectivity powered by 5G.

At “Journey of Connection,” a pop-up zone introducing KT’s AI technologies, visitors can engage directly with Mi:dm, KT’s Korean-centric language model, through an LLM-powered conversational interactive experience.

By combining historical materials with media art and interactive technologies, Easywith transformed the defining moments of KT’s technological evolution into engaging content that visitors can see, hear, and experience firsthand.

이지위드는 KT 광화문 사옥의 브랜드 체험 전시관 ‘KT 온마루’ 조성에 참여해, 대한민국 통신 140년의 역사를 체험할 수 있는 미디어아트 및 인터랙티브 콘텐츠를 기획·제작했습니다. KT 원주 수장고의 사료를 바탕으로 1885년 광화문에서 시작된 전보부터 5G·AI 시대에 이르기까지, KT가 선도해 온 연결의 역사를 다양한 미디어아트 콘텐츠로 구현했습니다.

‘시간의 회랑’은 대한민국 정보통신의 발전 과정을 전신·전보, 전화, 인터넷, 이동통신, 초연결의 다섯 시대로 조망하는 체험형 전시 공간입니다.

‘1막: Telegraph’에서는 전신주가 세워지는 과정을 프로젝션 맵핑 영상으로 구현하고, 관람객이 직접 작성한 전보를 전신줄을 따라 전달하는 인터랙티브 콘텐츠를 제작했습니다.

‘2막: Telephone’에서는 최초의 전화기 ‘덕률풍’부터 공중전화와 전화카드에 이르는 통신의 변화를 다양한 콘텐츠로 선보였습니다. 수동식 교환기를 직접 연결하며 전화교환원이 되어보는 체험과 나만의 전화카드를 제작하는 DIY 콘텐츠를 통해 당시의 통신 문화를 생생하게 경험할 수 있도록 했습니다.

‘3막: Internet’에서는 PC통신 시대의 하이텔 체험을 구현했으며, ‘4막: Mobile’에서는 삐삐의 숫자 암호를 입력하는 인터랙티브 콘텐츠와 시대별 이동통신 광고의 주인공이 되어보는 AI 포토부스를 제작했습니다. 마지막 ‘5막: Hyper-Connectivity’에서는 투명 OLED 영상을 통해 5G를 기반으로 끝없이 확장되는 초연결 기술의 미래를 표현했습니다.

KT의 AI 기술을 소개하는 팝업존 ‘이음의 여정’에서는 KT의 한국적 AI 모델 ‘믿:음’과 직접 대화하며 미래 기술을 경험할 수 있는 LLM 기반 대화형 콘텐츠를 구현했습니다.
