LG fuses art, tech, and heritage in National Museum OLED exhibit

LG Philippines has partnered with the National Museum of Natural History to unveil a groundbreaking digital art exhibit that merges cutting-edge technology with the rich geological and cultural heritage of the Philippines. Titled “Fragments,” the exhibit features immersive digital pieces by Isaiah Cacnio, the first digital and motion graphics artist to be featured at the National Museum.

Housed in the Ayala Reception Hall of the museum, the month-long exhibition is powered by LG OLED AI TVs, which bring to life three stunning works: Where Fire Begins, Stories in Stone, and What Breaks, Flows. These digital masterpieces reinterpret the story of Earth and the Philippines’ unique natural history through a blend of art, science, and emotion.

“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,” Cacnio said.

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 added

In support of the museum’s mission to preserve and celebrate Filipino culture, LG also donated over P500,000 worth of display technology—including LG StanbyME units, TVs, and monitors—that enhances how visitors experience exhibits.

From its initial donation at the museum’s opening in 2018 to recent support for the National Museum of Fine Arts, and now to its latest donation to the National Museum of Natural History, LG hopes to continue enriching communities by blending technology, education, and cultural appreciation.

Director-General Jeremy Barns, CESO III of the National Museum of the Philippines, emphasized the evolving role of museums in today’s fast-paced technological landscape: “We are increasingly expected to be dynamic, engaging, and responsive, places where knowledge is not only preserved but brought vividly to life, often with the help of multimedia visuals and presentations.”

He added that the donation enables the National Museum “to do more and do better in bringing our Filipino heritage, our Filipino stories, to life.”

Representatives from LG Philippines also showcased the smart features of the latest LG OLED AI TVs, including voice-responsive remotes, customizable home screens, and AI-enhanced user experiences.

With LG, you’re connected to a world of vibrant colors, positivity, and optimism.”
