LG Philippines marked its 12th consecutive year as the world’s leading OLED TV brand by partnering with the National Museum of Natural History for a groundbreaking digital art exhibition.
This collaboration features “Fragments,” a solo exhibition by Isaiah Cacnio, the first digital and motion graphics artist to showcase work at the National Museum.
Revolutionary Digital Art Display
The month-long exhibition at the Ayala Reception Hall on the second floor of the National Museum of Natural History, presents three digital pieces: “Where Fire Begins,” “Stories in Stone,” and “What Breaks, Flows.” These pieces use LG OLED AI TVs as canvases, with Cacnio employing mathematical formulas to generate organic, dynamic visuals that blend algorithmic precision with emotional depth.
The centerpiece installation features “What Breaks, Flows,” displayed across six 55-inch LG OLED C5 AI TVs, while “Stories in Stone” spans three 77-inch LG OLED G5 AI TVs, and “Where Fire Begins” utilizes four 65-inch LG OLED C5 AI TVs. The exhibition reinterprets Earth’s geological story, highlighting the Philippines’ extraordinary natural richness from volcanic origins to weathered landscapes and flowing waters.
Substantial Technology Donation
Following the exhibition unveiling, LG Philippines donated over PHP 500,000 worth of display technology to the National Museum of Natural History. The donation includes various television models, LG StanbyME units, and monitors designed to enhance visitor engagement through immersive and dynamic gallery experiences.
This represents LG’s continued commitment to Filipino cultural preservation, building upon previous donations to the museum’s opening in 2018 and recent support for the National Museum of Fine Arts.
Leadership Perspectives
LG Philippines Managing Director Nakhyun Seong emphasized the significance of celebrating Philippine Independence Day’s 127th anniversary at the museum while highlighting the partnership’s cultural importance. “That spirit comes alive in our partnership with the very talented and young motion graphics artist, Mr. Isaiah Cacnio, whose art beautifully bridges nature, technology, art, and geology, bringing
the natural world to life through digital creativity,” Seong stated.
National Museum Director-General Jeremy Barns described the collaboration as “yet another milestone in a long-standing partnership that has allowed us to push the boundaries of what a museum can be in the 21st century.” Barns noted that the technology transforms visitor experiences from static displays to immersive storytelling and active exploration.

Product Director for Media Solutions Yongwoo Park explained LG’s philosophy of creating AI that adapts thoughtfully to human needs, stating, “We don’t just build smart TVs.
