The vision is to bring artists from diverse disciplines and cultures together to explore art and technology as a means for developing new forms of expression, sharing creative experiences and promoting global collaboration, learning and innovation. It's mission is to provide a shared space for artists to collaborate, share ideas and create interdisciplinary works of art that explore emerging mediums and technologies.
As the director of Art & Technology Center at Seoul Institute of the Arts, I set up and manage all the technology for this program. In addition, I lead events which are regarding Art & Technology convergence subject.
'Culturehub Specials' are the special sessions where Seoul Institute of Arts students can interact with artists and arts educators in the world by inviting them through telepresence system (Polycom connection among others) in the format of lectures, workshops and concerts.
