AMAEBCH

The title of eobchae’s film AMAEBCH is a combination of acronyms reflecting the collective’s latest interests in Web 3—AMA as the abbreviation of “Ask me anything” from social media culture, and EBCH as a symbol for the cryptocurrency Eobchaecoin. The protagonist of AMAEBCH is Bisamuncheon, the king of the afterlife from the medieval Korean novel The Tale of Seol Gongchan. In AMAEBCH, Bisamuncheon manifests itself as an executive of Eobchaecoin (an altcoin created by eobchae) via scattered body graphics generated from a LiDAR sensor, answering AMA questions created from GPT-3. The questioners of AMA are sentient beings who are eager to know the destiny of Eobchaecoin. By introducing a supreme existence to bridge three recent artworks made between 2020 to 2022 in the film, eobchae shares a possible world where fictional entities based on very different periods can exist together.
