Virtual Conversations across Visual Cultures: Cultural Identity in Korean Computer-Mediated Art Instructors: Graeme Sullivan, Borim Song	시각문화를 통한 가상의 대화: 컴퓨터 아트를 통해 보는 한국의 문화정체성
A&HA4860.001 >> CRN number: 51300 >> Spring 2006
Venue: Teachers College, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027 Dates: February 10th-12th 2006

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.	한국은 첨단기술을 통한 미디어문화와 전통문화가 조화를 이루고 있는 나라이다. 본 학회와 전시는 한국의 현대작가들의 컴퓨터아트에 나타난 한국의 전통문화와 현대사회 간의 관계를 탐구하고자 한다. 뉴욕과 서울에서 동시에 펼쳐질 전시와 병행하여 이틀동안 열릴 학회에서는 문화와 전통을 접목시킨 컴퓨터를 통한 미술작품들에 초점을 맞추어, 이러한 미술창작을 통해 한국의 문화정체성이 표현되는 방식들이 조명될 것이다. 초청강연, 세미나, 소회의 등으로 이루어질 본 학회는 또한 대학교육 현장에서 이 주제들이 어떻게 다루어지고 있는지에 대해서도 고찰할 예정이다. 미술교육자들이 컴퓨터를 이용한 현대미술 안의 문화적 개념에 대해 어떻게 생각하고 이를 어떠한 방식으로 교육에 반영하는지에 대해 알아볼 것이다. 더 나아가 한국의 미술대 학생들이 그들의 문화—전통문화와 현대문화를 통괄한—를 어떻게 해석하고 이해하고 있는지를 살펴볼 것이며 또한 그들 자신의 정체성을 컴퓨터아트 작업과정에서 어떻게 드러내고 있는지도 함께 살펴보게 된다.

Course Objectives: Participants in this course will: Participate in a series of presentations, discussion panels and breakout sessions with speakers that include artists, professors and students representing Korean cultural perspectives. Explore cultural connections through encounters with computer mediate art that expresses cultural interpretations. Respond to issues and questions raised about contemporary cultural practices used by artists and the ways these carry educational implications.
Course Content This is a seminar style course engaging artists, cultural theorists, educators and students involved in the creation of artworks using various digital media. Particular emphasis will be given to identifying connections that are opened up by the digital environments and cultural contexts created by Korean artists – some being artists whose practice is carried out in New York, and others who are undergraduate artists enrolled at the Seoul Women’s University, Seoul, South Korea. Artworks created by the artists will be on display during the conference at the Macy Gallery, Teachers College, while concurrently works created by young Korean artists will be on display at the Bahrom Gallery, Seoul Women’s University in Seoul.
