The N-S-E-W, CITY COMPASS project archives the city and the relationship of the artists who analyze the city based on the Typojanchi 2015 artists roster information. If the Typojanchis other projects focus on the "results" from "city-artist" relationships, this project links the audiences and the cities with the artists personal city experiences. Through Typojanchi, artists from all over the countries rush to the city and create a cultural trace in their own ways. However, as Jane Jacobs pointed out in her book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities (1961), when we create something new, the city become a subject that gives us new experiences of spaces conversely. In other words, when an artist creates a city newly, the city also can raise one artist. The audience who visits the exhibition, faces to the city location-based infographic experiences through a compass on board the mobile application, constructed by a database system with artist-related city information. This project explains the artists (and the art works) by the artist (s information) therefore, it has "meta" and "off the space" characteristics at the same time. Therefore, it suggests an imaginary trip outside of Culture Station Seoul 284 to the city where the artists personal experience dwelt.
