#1. Exhibition Overview
Welcome to the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Cheongju.
What an Artificial World is organized to examine AI’s impact in today’s society and explore the possibility of symbiosis between AI and humans.
Artificial intelligence or AI is technology developed to embody human intelligence: the ability to learn, perceive, and reason.
AI has become deeply embedded in our lives in recent years, sometimes with functions similar to human intelligence.
So much of our daily life is already made easier by AI, and we rely on it to get the answers we need.
AI has the potential to replace ‘humans’ and sometimes shows even greater potential.
AI is no longer just a ‘technology,’ it's becoming a ‘world’ in its own right.
What an Artificial World is an exhibition to examine the ‘artificial world’ built and mediated by AI.
The eight participating artists and teams present works dealing with AI. These artworks examine the social and cultural issues surrounding the technology and address the uncertain world that lies in front of us.
The exhibition also presents eight keywords that are relevant to the artworks on view.
Each of the eight thematic keywords of the exhibition has a contrary or connective meaning.
In the process, the exhibition asks us what we're missing and what our challenges are when it comes to the issue of AI.
With What an Artificial World, we invite you to join us in imagining the "unpredictable world" that will unfold in the age of AI.
