“What Breaks, Flows” by Isaiah Cacnio
LG pays homage to the 127th Philippine Independence Day and launches the next generation of OLED and QNED TVs with Affectionate Intelligence, partnering with Isaiah Cacnio for a groundbreaking digital art exhibit that brings the nation’s rich culture, heritage, and biodiversity to life
LG Philippines brought together art, technology, and heritage at the National Museum of Natural History through a special partnership that exemplifies the beauty and diversity of Philippine geography and identity. The centerpiece of the event was “Fragments”, a solo art exhibition created in collaboration with Isaiah Cacnio, the first digital and motion graphics artist to be featured at the National Museum.

This immersive exhibit harnesses cutting-edge LG OLED
display technology to reinterpret the Earth’s story, shining a spotlight on the
extraordinary geological and ecological richness of the Philippines. From
volcanic beginnings to weathered stone and flowing water, the exhibit captures
the powerful natural forces that have shaped both the physical landscape and
the spirit of the Filipino people.

Running for an entire month, the exhibit invites visitors
to the Ayala Reception Hall on the second floor of the National Museum of
Natural History to explore the nation's rich biological history through three
captivating digital pieces: “Where Fire Begins,” “Stories in Stone,” and
“What Breaks, Flows”, all brought to life by LG OLED AI TVs. These works
seamlessly blend art, science, and emotion to reflect the Philippines'
geological and cultural evolution. As Cacnio explains, “Even in fracture,
there is flow. Even in separation, there is connection.” His work reminds
us that, just as nature molds the Earth, shared history and resilience continue
to shape our identity as a people.

Cacnio also reflects on his milestone, saying, “It’s a
great honor to be one of the few artists to use LG OLED for art, joining global
artists like Refik Anadol, Steve Harrington, and many others.” Through LGOLEDArt.com, LG
continues to support digital creators worldwide by offering OLED as a canvas
for artistic expression, ushering in a new era of immersive media art. “New
media and digital art are growing internationally, and I’m proud to be the
first artist from the Philippines to take part in this movement,” he adds.
Following the unveiling of these innovative digital art pieces, LG reaffirmed its steady commitment to the preservation and celebration of Filipino culture through a donation of over ₱500,000 worth of display technology, ranging from TVs, including LG StanbyME units, and monitors, to the National Museum of Natural History. With the installation of LG’s latest displays, the museum now offers a more immersive and dynamic way for visitors to engage with its galleries, blending cutting-edge technology with the Philippines’ vibrant culture and natural history.
