Korean Media Arts Festival Panel Discussion – Living Data: AI, A-Life & Data Art

Join us at The Sylvia Wald and Po Kim Art Gallery for a panel discussion with Deborah Levitt (Assistant Professor of Culture and Media, The New School), Margaret Schedel (Assistant Professor of Music at Stony Brook University) and “Technoimagination: Living Data”artists Yoon Chung Han (Eyes), Haru Ji (Infranet) and Eunsu Kang (Aural Fauna), moderated by Xin Wang (independent curator and art critic).

Within the context of the “Technoimagination: Living Data” exhibition, the panel will examine the use of artificial intelligence, artificial life, and data in art. The discussion will also shed light on the ways in which the Living Data artists are incorporating these media in their practices to explore post-information age themes such as the ethical issues of artificial intelligence, the privacy of biometric data, and the living ecosystems of virtual environments.

Space is limited, rsvp required.
