CICA Press, an online and print media issued by CICA Museum, is media for art and culture from the perspective of young culture makers in spirit. CICA Press supports “young” culture makers, who have passion, critical thought, and desire for creative and experimental expression, regardless of their age and background. We have believed that our inexhaustible passion for art and expression and a reckless rebelliousness can change the world.
CICA Press deals with visual art and culture from perspectives of local artists. To overcome uniform dissemination of contemporary art from the “center of Art,” we aim to introduce local artists and cultures from different regions to global audiences and connect them with each other. CICA Press provides online and offline spaces to create a global network among local artists, designers, audiences, and communities so they can make, appreciate, and live in art in their regions and cultures.
CICA Art Now 2020 features 43 selective artists from the CICA Contemporary Art Solo Show Series and CICA Young Korean Artists. Featured artists include Arin, Yoon Bae, Lesley Bunch, Khalil Charif, Won Young Chang, Tsai Chih-Fen, Iljun Choi, Mary Crenshaw, Jiseon Gong, Guk Hwa, Inhee Jang, Jae Won Jung, Dongwook Kim, Eun Kim, Hanul Kim, Jisu Kim, Moonbin Kim, Yeonhong Kim, Yewon Sophia Kim, Jungah Kwon, Hye Jean Lee, Hye ju Lee, Junwon Lee, Tiffany Lee, Ye-ji Lee, Nicole Lenzi, Mark and Sol, Jooyoung Park, rareH, Matt Sheridan, Bora Shin, Seo Young Shin, Terry Silvester, Sarah Sipling, Ahree Song, Minjung Sun, Younghyun Sun, Unyon Yang, Yun Seok Yang, Seung Hee You, Jane Venis and Hannah Joynt.

Into the Clouds:
CICA New Media Art Conference 2020
Conference June 18 – 21, 2020
Solo Exhibitions June 17 – 21, 2020
Started from the sculptor Czong Ho Kim’s studio in 1994, Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (CICA) became a unique cultural space founded and cultivated by him. Not only CICA fosters projects of experimental artists, we are open for everyone to learn about Contemporary Art and apply it to one’s life. We aim to provide a creative, yet comfortable space for artists and the community to nurture their creative and critical thinking with visual culture while they communicate with each other.
In the CICA New Media Art Conference 2020 (CICA NMAC 2020), we aim to celebrate art in the digital age and share thoughts and ideas on new forms of art and culture in relation to emerging technologies and trends including artificial intelligence, virtual/augmented reality, social media, and the museum in the digital era. We highly value cultural exchanges among artists, researchers, and local residents worldwide and believe our event will inspire us and expand our understanding of new media art and culture in general. Due to the uncertain situation that requires social distancing, we have decided to actively incorporate new media technologies into our event, including live streaming, video conferencing, AR, and social media, so that new media artists, researchers, and guests worldwide can participate in the event physically and/or virtually. We invite new media art communities and art lovers worldwide to participate in our fourth international conference on New Media Art. We look forward to sharing fun, creative, and inspiring experiences with you!
CICA 미술관은 김종호 작가의 작업실을 기반으로 이십여 년에 거쳐 손수 일구어낸 독특한 미술관으로 김포시가 신도시로 변모하는 동안 역사를 고스란히 간직한, 구석구석 작가의 손길이 닿아있는 하나의 작품과도 같은 공간입니다. CICA 미술관은 사진, 회화, 조각뿐만이 아니라 뉴 미디어 아트 국제전 및 출판물을 활발히 기획해 왔으며 개관 이래 수많은 국내 및 해외 작가들이 CICA 미술관의 전시 및 출판에 참여해주시고 방문해 주셨습니다.
CICA 미술관에서 2020월 6월 18일부터 21일까지 제4회 CICA 뉴 미디어 아트 국제 콘퍼런스를 개최합니다. 전 세계의 예술과 삶에 대한 열정을 가진 아티스트들을 만날 수 있다는 것은 행운이며 삶에 많은 영감과 깊이감을 줍니다. 본 컨퍼런스에서는 라이브 스트리밍, 비디오 컨퍼런스, AR, 및 소셜 미디어와 같은 기술을 적극 활용하여 사회적 거리두기를 요하는 특수한 상황으로 인해 컨퍼런스에 직접 방문하지 못하는 전 세계 뉴 미디어 아티스트 및 관객들도 참여가 가능할 것입니다. 본 콘퍼런스를 통해 전 세계 아티스트, 학자, 미술 애호가, 지역 주민들이 뉴 미디어 아트와 문화 전반에 대한 생각들을 공유하는 뜻깊은 자리가 되기를 바랍니다.

Digital media seem to lack physicality, of which we think as “texture.” As new media art evolves with digital technology, I recently have noticed “new textures” in them – glitches, pixelation, and virtual textures, which happen intentionally or unexpectedly. Eeriness of these new textures reminds me of the “uncanny valley” that resembles humans but is not humans anymore. New textures emerge in the middle of technological intervention and interaction. And these residues of mathematical calculations and errors form new aesthetics, stories, contexts, and realities.
New Texture: New Media Art 2019 features 36 new media artists worldwide, including Pierre Ajavon, Alessandro Avellis, Michael Black, Tom Burtonwood, Tristan Cai, Jade Chorkularb, Lacaste Eunice, Yuto Hasebe, Chih-ya Huang, Soa J. Hwang, Tian Jiang, Lara Kamhi, KairUs Art+Research, Ji Yong Kim, Mihyun Kim, Todd Kunkler, Heesoo Kwon, Jiaqing Mo, Christina Ivelisse Morris, Hannah Newman, Fongyee Ng, Min Park, Miock Park, Valentina Sciarra, Simon Šerc, Peim van der Sloot, Tamara Staser, Yuanliang Sun, Tore Terrasi, Cansu Topaloglu, Yang Wang, Rachel Lin Weaver, Jinjoo Yang, Kyungjin Yoo, and Lim Zeherng. I hope our readers find new textures in them reflecting their own realities across the globe.

Intro
Artists’ works and thoughts always make me ponder the subject matters, appreciate and celebrate life on a deeper level. Like a constellation in the sky, artists unfold each of their universe once I quietly look into the glimmers in the dark. Digital Body: New Media Art 2018 features 43 new media artists worldwide who passionately represent and symbolize each of their own realities. I hope our readers plunge into the artists’ worlds and celebrate the new culture in this digital era.
아티스트들을 접하면 접할수록 그 깊이감에 감탄한다. 그들의 작품과 생각들을 접하며 나는 삶을 보다 깊이 음미하는 법을 배웠다. 밤하늘에 무수한 별처럼, 적막 속에서 작은 빛을 가만히 바라볼 때 비로소 그들은 그들의 세계를 연다. “디지털 바디: 뉴 미디어 아트 2018″은 43명의 전 세계 뉴 미디어 아티스트들의 작품 세계를 소개한다. 그들은 각자의 현실을 열정적으로 재현해내고 상징화한다. 독자가 아티스트들 각자의 고유의 세계를 접하며 디지털 시대의 새로운 문화를 향유하는 장이 되었으면 한다.
– 김리진
‘디지털 바디: 뉴 미디어 아트 2018’는 CICA 미술관 김리진 아트디렉터가 기획한 ‘New Media Art’ 시리즈 북의 세 번째 호로, 전 세계에서 두각을 나타내고 있는 43명의 뉴미디어 아티스트 그룹과 평론가들의 영어 원문과 한글 번역본 및 2017 제1회 CICA 뉴 미디어 아트 국제 컨퍼런스 리뷰를 싣고 있다.
“As artists, in the end, meaning matters to us….but as we make our work we often hold meaning in suspension as the signal of bits or analog information passes through the lines of art production.”
“예술가로서, 의미는 결국 우리에게 중요한 것이 된다…그러나 비트의 신호나 아날로그 정보가 예술제작의 길을 통과함에 따라 작품을 만들 때 우리는 종종 의미를 미결로 남겨둔다.”
– Justin Lincoln, ” Artist as Noise Source”
“Death is a radical and inevitable phenomenon that all surface once dominated one’s body is broken down into points. Line is a symbolic icon of essence that distinguishes life and death.”
“죽음은 몸을 지배하고 있던 표면이 점들로 해체되는 근본적이며 피할 수 없는 현상이다. 선은 삶과 죽음을 구별하는 본연에 대한 상징적 아이콘이다.”
– Kay Yoon, “1. Death and symbol”
“영화 속 여성을 향한 폭력은 모든 시기 모든 장르 속에 존재해 왔다…폭력은 엔터테인먼트라는 명목으로 최소화되어 멋진 맞춤옷으로 입혀진 황금 동상으로 관객에게 선보여진다.”
“Violence towards women in film lives in every genre from every decade… It is draped in couture and handed smooth golden statues, minimized because it exists within the boundaries of entertainment.”
– Mary Hanlon, “The Veritas Technique”
“…The amount of visual content that we are subjected to through our internet usage practically demands swift thoughtlessness: otherwise we would all keel over trying to figure out the cultural and personal ramifications of some Honey Boo Boo gif…Sitting through the series, a viewer may begin to uneasily wonder, what is the difference between this pink painted man banging his head on the wall and myself, mindlessly plucking out chin hairs in front of the mirror late at night?”
“…우리가 인터넷 서핑을 통해 받아들이는 수많은 시각적 정보들은 사실상 우리에게 신속한 부주의함을 요구해. 그게 아니면 우리는 짤 (Honey Boo Boo gif)의 문화적 및 개인적 파급력에 압도되어 버리겠지… 이 시리즈를 바라보면서 관람자는 핑크색으로 뒤덮은 이 남자가 벽에 자신의 머리를 치는 모습과 한밤중에 턱에 난 털을 무념무상으로 뽑는 자기 자신이 무엇이 다른가에 대한 거북한 질문을 던지게 된다.”
– Joy Miller’s review on Ben Ehrmann’s “Pink Face Series”
“The scream is not yours. It is not you who speaks; it is your countless ancestors. It is not you who craves; countless generations of ancestors crave through your own heart.”
“비명은 네 것이 아니다. 말하는 것은 네가 아니다. 네 수많은 조상이다. 네가 갈망하는 것이 아니다. 셀 수 없이 많은 세대의 조상이 네 마음을 통해 갈망한 것이라.”
– Elissavet Sfyri, “Practicing”

[Book] Art Yellow Book #3: 아트 옐로 북 #3
“Artist Book Their DIY Art Space”
CICA Museum’s art book project “Art Yellow Book” provides a unique art space for artists. Unlike gallery spaces, art books are portable and ubiquitous. Unlike online media, books are tactile and “real.” Art Yellow Book aims to create a space where individual artists can freely express themselves and become media themselves.
Art Yellow Book #3 features 55 artists from around the world. Each artist freely organized two facing pages in the book, using these pages as an exhibition form and an advertisement for themselves and their work. There are no rules or restrictions regarding the layout, design, or content. If you would like to know more about the artists, visit their websites by scanning their QR codes, or contact them directly by email.
“아티스트들의 책속의 DIY 전시 공간”
CICA 미술관의 아트북 프로젝트 “아트 옐로북”은 아티스트들에게 독특한 전시 공간을 제공합니다. 기존의 전시 공간에 설치된 작품과는 다르게 아트 북은 쉽게 가지고 다닐 수 있고, 여러 사람이 동시에 공유할 수 있습니다. 또한 아트 북은 온라인 매체와는 다르게 직접 만지고 경험할 수 있다는 점에서 아날로그적인 매력도 있는 독특한 매체이기도 합니다. “아트 옐로 북”은 아티스트가 직접 자신을 표현하고 스스로 미디어가 될 수 있는 공간입니다.
2017년 3월에 출간 된 “아트 옐로 북 #3″는 시리즈 북의 두 번째 호로 국내외의 감각 있는 55명의 아티스트들이 직접 디자인한 페이지들로 구성되었습니다. 아티스트 한 명당 한 장(두 페이지)의 공간이 주어지며, 정해진 형식이나 제약은 없습니다. 해당 아티스트에 대해 더 알아보고자 한다면 QR 코드로 아티스트의 웹사이트를 방문하거나 아티스트에게 직접 메일을 보내보세요.
