The Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture
(SFAC) presents 《Let Things Go: Relations of Relations》 as part of the 4th Seoul Art & Tech Festival Unfold X 2025,
held from Tuesday, December 9 to Sunday, December 21 at Culture Station Seoul
284.
Unfold X began in 2010 with the “Da Vinci
Idea Contest” and, to date, has discovered and supported 178 emerging artists,
growing into a leading platform for the Korean art & tech scene.

This year, Unfold X applies the perspective
that “society is formed through networks of diverse agents” to the festival,
exploring organic connections and expanding relationships through artistic
works.
The festival will showcase new works by 10
artists selected for the 2025 Art & Tech Support Program (Soh Boram,
Gyomyung Shin, Choi Minkyoo, Hwang In Kyu, Kim Jeong Hwan, Yang Minha,
UJOO+LIMHEEYOUNG (Yoo Byoungjoon), Lee Jungwoo, Youngkak Cho, and Yoon Chung
Han), alongside 26 works from 11 countries in the contemporary art & tech
field, including six performances.
In addition, the festival will feature an
exchange program across three East Asian countries—Korea, China, and Japan
(Seoul, Beijing, Tokyo)—including exhibitions, workshops, and lectures, as well
as an opening performance that offers an expanded artistic sensibility through
immersive audiovisual experiences.

New this year, the festival will feature a
variety of programs, including Unfold X Evening, where artists from four
countries—including Hong Kong, Germany, and Japan—will present performances;
Unfold X Talks, a forum where artists share and discuss their processes of
mutual transformation; and Unfold X Forum, an academic event examining the
Korean Art & Tech ecosystem from a convergent arts perspective.
