ZER01NE, a creative talent platform sponsored by Hyundai Motor Group, has announced its 2024 call for creators.

ZER01NE is an open innovation collaboration platform composed of creative talents from various fields, including artists, architects, designers, engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs, who create questions and find answers from concerns about people and society.

ZER01NE creators will receive up to 50 million KRW for project funding and access to studios and workspaces. In addition, creators will receive support for networking programs in and outside of Korea for further project development and opportunities for domestic and international showcases. Even after the end of contract, creators can participate in projects and programs through ZER01NE ALUMNI, and follow-up support will continue through LAB for the research activities.

The completion of each creator’s project will be showcased at the 2024 ZER01NE Day, scheduled for October this year.

Each year, ZER01NE selects a contemporary theme that relates to our lives and presents the results as an exhibition that allows us to comprehensively experience the perspectives of the art, tech, and business triad. Last year’s ZER01NE Day was themed ’01 HABITAT’ and proposed various creative forms of ‘future habitats’ where humans and non-humans can coexist and prosper together beyond today’s cities.

The themes for ZER01NE 2024 are ‘mobility’, ‘A.I’, ‘robotics’, and ‘climate tech’.

Applications for ZER01NE creators will be accepted online until February 4. For more information, please visit the ZER01NE website.
