New Platform for Nomadic Artists in the Changing Global Art Scenes
Leejin Kim, the art director of CICA Museum, known for featuring experimental and new media art worldwide, curated this event to suggest a new platform for nomadic artists in the global art scenes. Through Project Art Teleported, CICA Museum aims to create a global network among nomadic artists, designers, audiences, and communities and promote culture of fluidity and flexibility. CICA Museum believes that we can make, share, appreciate, and live in art in any regions and cultures by understanding and appreciation of each other. The art director, Leejin Kim, added that, “many artists, including me, have multicultural experiences and also have experienced new media culture. We often feel that we don’t fall into a specific identity. Rather, it becomes more like a hybrid. We are living in rapidly changing new media culture, and sometimes we can relate ourselves more to someone who is from halfway around the world than someone next door. It would be wonderful if we meet and do something exciting anywhere.”
