Busan
Museum of Contemporary Art (Busan MoCA) presents a group exhibition “2024
BusanMoCA Platform_I’m sorry Dave I’m afraid I can’t do that” through April 13.
“BusanMoCA”, an annual event that Busan MoCA has been hosting since 2023, is an
exhibition that shares continued social reflections and queries about the
environment and ecosystem in anticipation of the future that awaits us around
the seismic turn of planetary change.
Following
the first exhibition in 2023, which contemplated on the primal relationship
between ‘Nature and humanity, “2024 BusanMoCA Platform_I’m sorry Dave I’m
afraid I can’t do that” expands the journey to stories on the sustainability of
future environment under the themes of digital smart technology, convergence
world, and the substantive connection and interaction between humans and the
environment.

Centering
its composition around new technological convergence media artworks across
interactive media art, crypto art, artificial intelligence, data sculptures,
game, and videos, the exhibition combines the format of its existing
contest-based selections and invited works by overseas as well as domestic
artists.
The
creative coexistence and fusion of machine prediction and human sensibility,
notions of ‘actual reality,’ and emotional exchanges in the age of augmented
humanity offer new forms of exchanges and experiences by expanding the
overarching theme of the ‘environment and ecology.’
In
conjunction with the exhibition, lectures and programs will be conducted
through multidisciplinary collaboration involving researchers, technicians, and
developers, offering opportunities for multidimensional reflections on the
future environment. For more details, please visit the BusanMoCA Platform
website (http://busanmocaplatform.com/program/).
