Artists must consider the public for whom they are making art. Today’s artists are breaking the limitations of medium and genre and adapting to the prevalence of mass-media. By using various digital and other technologies to combine a diversity of sensory experiences, art forms and cultural traditions, artists are finding a rich language that speaks to their contemporary audience through direct experience.
While contemporary artists have been struggling to define what is or is not art, the opportunity for the public to express themselves using the great variety of technologies available has been growing faster than in any other period. The current complex of social information, the spreading Internet, and digital media and devices have changed human relationships and the nature of the artist’s social contributions. However, we cannot expect technology to provide a vision of culture or artistic philosophy. That is the role of the artist.
Given our unique cultural heritage as Koreans, we have to comprehend how our own concept tradition and community crashes against the values of the modern internet culture. In ancient Korea, though art was created by subjugated people, such as women and lowly artisans, their work was artistically vibrant, innovative and valued by the larger society, such as we can see during a traditional tea ceremony. Individual artists agreed on a common language and as their work, useful items such as traditional textiles and pottery, served social functions, it can thus be considered to be a form of social media. Today this unique social harmony finds a new expression in the renaissance of the digital culture.
In this performance, artist and curator Chun Sei Ryun is going to lead a traditional Korean tea ceremony during which musician Jung Jae Youn will play the Kayakum, a Korean string instrument. The performance will be enveloped in a digital media environment, created by ongoing video-recording by Atto Kim and photography by Sang Mi Kim. The four artists in this exhibition will focus on the connections and disconnections between tradition and modern life, the nature of social space, and the transience of the moment. This event will break the restrictions of genre and form.
In addition to the tea ceremony, there will be a video installation, photography and computer art by the participants.

Given our unique cultural heritage as Koreans, we have to comprehend how our own concept of tradition and community crashes against, or meshes with, the values of the modern internet culture. In ancient Korea, though art was created by subordinate people, namely women and artisans, their work was artistically, vibrant, innovative and valued by the larger society, such as we can see during a traditional tea ceremony. Individual artists agreed upon a common language, and as their work- useful items such as traditional textiles and pottery-served social functions, it can thus be considered to be a form of social media.

Time Tremor
The Nature around me motivated myself to use specific media, such as sand, earth and tea leaves. The images depict certain scenes from nature such as birds in the sky and the wind in the trees. With time and space, horizontal and vertical lines, respectively, intertwining each other, we have fate and destiny meeting at the intersecting spot. In this moment we have eternity. During this eternal sanction, meditation occurs and I can produce artwork in peace and harmony.
The main materials I have used are the Korean traditional drum and musical CDs. I took tea leaves and naturally dyed the Korean traditional drums. The bird represents freedom and the will to live. Birds fly freely as men wish to fly freely. Man tries to become birds and have dreams and inspirations. I used beads because they are dots individually; however combined together they form one line. Such as beads on a string, form a necklace. I used wires instead of strings because wire is malleable and I can make any shapes. This becomes a sculpture. I envision jewelry as a piece of wearable sculpture, I made beads out of tea leaves and paper. Beads represent circles, which symbolizes eternity and oneness with nature.
