As part of its inaugural exhibition’s accompanying program, Futura Seoul has organized a talk with media artist Refik Anadol and KAIST Professor Daesik Kim from the Department of Electrical Engineering. Refik Anadol is renowned for his work that utilizes AI to create visual wonders beyond human experience, while Professor Daeshik Kim is deeply interested in how AI influences human artistic thought and creativity. We invite you to join the conversation between these two thought leaders on the topic of 'AI, Art, and the Future' at Futura Seoul.
Panelist l Refik Anadol, A Media Artist
Refik Anadol(b.1985, Istanbul, Turkey) is an internationally renowned media artist, director, and pioneer in the aesthetics of data and machine intelligence. He is the Director of Refik Anadol Studio in Los Angeles and a Lecturer at UCLA’s Department of Design Media Arts. Anadol’s work locates creativity at the intersection of humans and machines. Taking the data that surrounds us as primary material, and the neural network of a computerized mind as a collaborator, Anadol offers us radical visualizations of our digitized memories and expands the possibilities of interdisciplinary arts. Anadol’s site-specific data paintings and sculptures, live audio/visual performances, and immersive installations take many forms, while encouraging us to rethink our engagement with the physical world, collective experiences, public art, decentralized networks, and the creative potential of AI.
Anadol’s work has been exhibited at venues including MoMA, Centre Pompidou, Las Vegas Sphere, Art Basel, National Gallery of Victoria, Venice Architecture Biennale, Walt Disney Concert Hall, World Economic Forum, CES, and Davos Forum. Anadol has received several awards and prizes including the Lorenzo il Magnifico Lifetime Achievement Award for New Media Art, Microsoft Research’s Best Vision Award, German Design Award, UCLA Art+Architecture Moss Award, Columbia University’s Breakthrough in Storytelling Award, and Google’s Artists and Machine Intelligence Artist Residency Award.
