South Korea is a country where traditional culture is mixed with high-tech media culture. This conference will explore the relationship between traditional culture and contemporary Korean life as it is revealed in computer-generated works of art created by contemporary artists.
This two-day conference, along with concurrent exhibitions, held in New York and Seoul, will shed light on how artists incorporate culture and tradition into technology-based art making, and how Korean cultural identity emerges through artistic practice. Through lectures, seminars, and breakout sessions, this conference
will also examine how Korean art education embraces these themes in teaching and learning at the college level. How art educators inquire into the concept of cultural identity in contemporary artworks using computer technology, and how this is integrated in their teaching will be considered. A further theme will explore how Korean college art students interpret and understand their
culture—both traditional and contemporary—and examine their identity through the process of computer-generated art making.
