Ghosts in the Machine: Artist Talk

Two of South Korea’s most exciting visual artists, Haejung Jung and HKASON, come together to discuss ideas behind their Now or Never works Row, Row, Row Your Boat (노 저어라, 저어라, 네 배를) and Knot Protocol (매듭 프로토콜)

What does it mean to be human as the digital and physical realms blur? Both explore how technology reshapes creativity and agency, from Jung’s eerie choir of 3D-scanned human faces to HKASON’s continuously mutating kinetic installation of motors, rods and fabric.

This conversation considers what happens when machines are no longer simply tools, but collaborators, performers and creators in their own right. Hosted by Dr Emily Siddons, Co-CEO and Artistic Director of the National Communication Museum.

Presented with Arts Korea Lab
