Kinetic LED signage has transformed how viewers interact with content, emerging as a new method of visual storytelling. Recent technological advancements have forged the way for the brilliance of traditional LEDs to come together with kinetic art technology, creating three-dimensional (3D) displays that exude vibrant colors and dynamic sounds for an enhanced visual experience.
Kinetic LED signage has become a standout choice for artistic exhibits in public spaces, adding dynamic movement to museums, hotel lobbies and galleries. By displaying animated patterns that seem to emerge from the screen, this innovative signage solution adds a sense of realism to the space that conventional displays cannot replicate. When combined with vivid colors and sound effects, it seamlessly integrates into a wide array of spaces, effectively showcasing diverse content from compelling advertisements to stunning works of art.
The Sangsang Platform, a cultural complex in South Korea remodeled from an old granary to host various cultural activities, features the gigantic LG Kinetic LED façade as a breathtaking centerpiece. In addition to mesmerizing visitors, the signage solution heightens the ambiance and effectively modernizes the space with dazzling media art displays. Renowned for its size and cutting-edge technology, the LG Kinetic LED signage immerses audiences with its dynamic presence.
Measuring a massive 3 meters wide by 5 meters long and powered by 240 engine motors, images in the LG Kinetic LED signage come alive in vivid detail with the support of High Dynamic Range (HDR). By synchronizing with 240 LED modules that move delicately back and forth up to 300mm, HDR defies the challenges of traditional flat signage to create 3D content, enhancing the sense of immersion and transforming kinetic motion into a work of art. In addition, with customized digital media and sound, the signage delivers realistic audio and motion for an unforgettable sensory experience.
From lobbies to shopping malls to public squares, the LG kinetic LED signage creates an impactful visual effect in indoor spaces. This Kinetic LED as a media platform can maximize the impact of advertising by effectively capturing people’s attention. What’s more, LG Kinetic LED signage offers a bundled software package for buyers, enabling easy application of kinetic motion utilities and eliminating concerns about implementing additional art technology services.
The dynamic media façade of the LG Kinetic LED signage is set to mesmerize viewers and satisfy stakeholders alike, demonstrating LG’s commitment to delivering total service that includes space design, installation and post-management of the LED signage, all of which elevate the customer experience and optimize operational efficiency.

To celebrate Earth Day 2024, LG USA launched the LG Endangered Species Series, a 3D anamorphic experience featured on the company’s Times Square billboard in New York City. This digital out-of-home (OOH) campaign, set to run throughout 2024, aims to spotlight the world’s most vulnerable and endangered species, emphasizing the importance of protecting both endangered and recovered species. LG also seeks to inspire K-12 students to engage with conservation efforts through partnerships with Discovery Education and the National Wildlife Federation.
In honor of Independence Day on July 4, LG unveiled the bald eagle, America’s national bird and a symbol of freedom, as the second animal in the series.
The new 3D campaign video addresses habitat loss, showing the bald eagle journeying from New York to the Grand Canyon in search of a new home. This installment follows the successful debut of the snow leopard campaign, which has garnered nearly 3 million views since its launch in April.
To broaden awareness of endangered species, LG teamed up with another American icon, the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball. During the Yankees’ home games from July 2-4, LG hosted a table at Yankee Stadium where the first 250 children aged 14 and under each day received gift bags containing a bald eagle plush toy and binoculars for bird watching.
Additionally, 10 of these bags included a baseball autographed by a current or former Yankees player. Visitors to the table could also interact with National Wildlife Federation experts and take photos with an artistic rendering of a bald eagle’s six-foot wingspan.
LG is dedicated to creating a more sustainable planet and, as a part of this commitment, will be aiding the National Wildlife Federation in planting native trees. These trees will create wildlife habitats, prevent soil erosion and increase canopy coverage in communities across the United States.
The LG Endangered Species Series will continue throughout the year, featuring animals like the Galapagos sea lion and reindeer. Together with global education specialist Discovery Education, LG remains committed to raising awareness for endangered species through the distribution of educational material online for free. Standards-aligned digital resources on the bald eagle and other animals from the LG Endangered Species Series are readily available for educators and students through Discovery Education at

‘Optimism your feed’ Playlist Curated by Global Influencers Will Enable Users
to Engage With Optimistic and Inspiring Content on Their Social Media Feeds
SEOUL, May 29, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) today launched a global campaign called ‘Optimism your feed,’ which aims to help users bring more optimism to their social media experience by inviting them to proactively engage with positive and inspiring content on their feeds.
“As a customer-focused brand, LG is a passionate champion of optimism. We aim to create positive changes in people’s lives by being intentional with our positive activities both online and in the real world,” said Kim Hyo-eun, vice president and head of LG’s Brand Management Division. “In the AI era, LG remains committed to our unwavering promise of ‘Life’s Good.’ We will continue to enhance our customers’ lives with a human-centric approach, fostering hope for a better future.”
A new global survey commissioned by LG found that social media is both a source of anxiety and a place where people turn to be entertained, keep up with friends and family, and stay informed about news and current events. According to the survey, almost half of respondents (45 percent) report their social media feeds consist of an equal or greater amount of negative content than positive content. One in four respondents (28 percent) claimed negative content on their social media feeds has increased their anxiety and one in five (20 percent) said it has made them unhappy.
link hidden, please login to view also suggest that algorithms often promote negative and niche conversations. The global survey sought to understand the triggers that affect how algorithms work and how to increase your feed’s positive content. The result is the ‘Optimism your feed’ playlist of original content that, when interacted with, will pull more optimistic content into your feed.* ‘Optimism your feed’ is part of LG’s global , introduced last year to inspire and encourage people to approach life with an optimistic attitude.
Created in collaboration with global influencers renowned for their optimistic influences including , , and more, the ‘Optimism your feed’ playlist includes over 20 short-form videos ranging from motivation to feel-good content.
Additionally, LG is consulting with social media experts including Professor , an information scientist and technology ethicist, with a PhD in Human Centered Computing. Fiesler researches and teaches in the areas of technology ethics, internet policy and online communities, and has published on topics such as social media content moderation and recommender systems. She also educates the public on these topics as a content creator.
Social media has become an integral part of our lives, and algorithms play a significant role in the content that we see in these spaces. LG’s global playlist and campaign gives users the opportunity to see more positive and uplifting posts. By being more conscious about what we choose to engage with, we can bring stronger optimism, balance and happiness to our lives.
According to Fiesler, “Recommendation algorithms determine what we see on social media by predicting what content we are likely to engage with. These algorithms can therefore send us down ever more specific niches – for good and for bad. Research has shown that left unchecked, users can go down negative rabbit holes and encounter harmful content quite quickly. One of our first lines of defense needs to be improving our digital literacy, and paying more attention to how algorithms influence our online experiences. And the good news is that we do have some control over the input for these algorithmic predictions; if we choose to engage with optimistic content, there’s a good possibility we will see more of it.”
Victoria Browne, a global influencer and TEDx Talk speaker, said, “The algorithms on our social channel can have a big impact on the content we see online, which impacts our mental health. That’s why I’m passionate about ‘Optimism your feed’, and I hope that people use this playlist as a foundation to retrain their algorithm and encourage positivity in all aspects of their lives. So much of the stigma and difficulty of tackling mental health is that it is unseen. With this campaign, we are saying you should reach out to your friends, and that we can help each other. Our algorithm should recommend content that makes us feel more connected to people, not less.”
The ‘Optimism your feed’ playlist can be found on LG’s global TikTok channel and global YouTube channel , and will later spread to various social media platforms through collaborations with influencers around the world. More details can be found on the campaign page on .
