The Dance of Karma: Weaving a New We
The exhibition reads the relationship between humans and non-humans through karma and shared karma. In an age when AI has gained a body and enters the same space as people, human actions and data, and machine responses and signals, pile up and shape later encounters. It has three chapters, 'accumulate', 'build', and 'bear together', all verbs that pair with 'karma' in Korean. Five artists from Korea, China, and Japan take part: Dennis Won Seo Hong, Exonemo, Gao Peng, Shin Gyo-myeong, and Xu Yamin. Visitors' faces, steps, and gazes also become part of the show. At Art Center Nabi, Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 to 18:00.

01About
Video art emerged in the 1960s. In 1963 Nam June Paik, born in Keijō (today's Seoul), held Exposition of Music – Electronic Television at Galerie Parnass in Wuppertal, Germany, scattering television sets through the space and distorting their images with magnets. Since then the screen has grown from the television set to projection, multi-channel installation, and LED, and the image is no longer only recorded footage: works by Kim Heecheon such as Cutter 3 are built in the game engine Unity and play on their own, computed in real time from input values. Such works often have no actors, dialogue, or plot, and need not have a beginning or an end; the label usually gives the running time and the number of channels.

03Notes
In media art the image isn't always recorded; it may be computed as you watch.
This time, at The Dance of Karma: Weaving a New We —
How long did you stay in front of the screen? What kept you there, or moved you on?
