Jiyou Park participated in Laboratory from New York (뉴욕에서 온 실험실) as a presenting artist and was closely involved in the planning and development of the exhibition. Laboratory from New York is the National Science Museum of Korea's first special exhibition of the year and explores new frontiers of human relationships shaped by emerging technologies. The exhibition brings together seven artists connected through New York's Interactive Telecommunications Program, ITP. Through a diverse range of technology driven artworks, the exhibition examines how emerging technologies reframe relationships between individuals, society, and the environment. In addition to the exhibition, the participating artists hosted workshops for local youth, sharing experimental approaches that bridge artistic practice, science, and technology. Within this collaborative framework, Park presented two interactive installations titled Outlandish Lullaby and Samramansang. Both works explore sound and bodily movement as alternative modes of connection that operate beyond language.

Outlandish Lullaby is an interactive sound artwork that reflects on the comfort found in unfamiliar sounds and unintelligible languages. Inspired by childhood memories of accompanying the artist's grandmother to a mountain temple, the work draws from the rhythmic tones of monks chanting sutras. Although the words themselves remain unintelligible, their cadence and texture evoke a sense of emotional ease. Through machine learning and real time sensing, the installation invites audiences to experience sound as an affective presence rather than as a carrier of explicit meaning.

Samramansang takes its conceptual starting point from the Buddhist notion of samramansang, written as 森羅萬象, which refers to all phenomena and movements in the universe. The work approaches human bodily movement as a pre linguistic and instinctive form of expression. Gestures that occur across different spaces and contexts are recorded over time and analyzed through machine learning, grouping similar movements into shared patterns. Individual actions are reassembled into collective rhythms and visualized as a continuous flow. By proposing bodily movement as a form of language, the work reveals how distinct beings can connect and resonate through motion.
The exhibition was featured on the National Science Museum of Korea's official website and was open to the public from January 6 to January 11, 2026.
