[Publication] Posthuman: New Media Art 2020

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.

“Posthuman: New Media Art 2020” features 56 new media artists worldwide who participated in the CICA New Media Art Conference 2019, Art Teleported Brooklyn NY 2019, and Post-Human: The 5th International Exhibition on New Media Art.

CICA Press는 ‘젊은’ 문화 창작가의 관점에서 아트와 문화 전반의 소식을 전하는 온라인+프린트 미디어입니다. CICA Press는 ‘정신’이 젊은 문화 창작가들을 후원합니다. 나이와 배경을 불문하고 열정과 비판적인 사고, 창의적이고 실험적인 표현에 대한 욕구를 가지신 분이라면 우리 모두 ‘젊은’ 문화 창작가가 아닐까요? 질풍노도 청춘의 이유 없는 반항심과 열정과도 같이, 눈먼 불나방과도 같은 창작의 욕구, 표현의 욕구가 세상을 바꿀 수 있다는 확신을 가져봅니다.

CICA Press는 ‘미술의 중심지’로부터 세계로의 일방적인 흐름을 극복하고자 세계 각 지역의 지역작가와 문화를 세계 독자들에게 소개하는 교두보가 되고자합니다. 온라인 및 오프라인 공간을 통하여 지역 작가, 디자이너, 관객, 주민들을 위한 글로벌 네트워크를 제공하여, 각자의 공간에서 고유의 문화를 발전시키면서 동시에 세계적인 수준의 예술문화를 창출하고, 공유하고, 즐기고, 감동을 주며, 예술이 삶에 스며들 수 있도록 힘쓰고 있습니다.

CICA Press 출판 “Posthuman: New Media Art 2020″는 2019 CICA 뉴 미디어 아트 컨퍼런스, Art Teleported Brooklyn NY 2019, Post-Human: The 5th International Exhibition on New Media Art 국제전에 참여한 56인의 국내외 뉴 미디어 아티스트들을 소개합니다.

Artist Statement 또는 Artist’s Statement (아티스트 스테이트먼트)란 작품에 대한 이해를 돕기 위해 작가의 영감, 아이디어 및 작품 세계를 서술한 글이다. Artist Statement는 미국의 미술대학 및 미술계를 중심으로 1990년대부터 활발하게 쓰이기 시작했다. Artist Statement는 난해하고 개념적인 현대미술을 접근하기 위한 실용적인 “도구”이다. Artist Statement가 오히려 작품의 감상을 일정한 방향으로 국한할 수 있으며 작가의 자유로운 표현 방식을 저해한다는 비판적인 의견도 있지만, 제한된 2-4 문단의 글로 작가의 세계를 그려내는 한편의 시와도 같다는 점에서 작품 자체와 별개의 또 다른 매력이 있다.

CICA 미술관에서는 “Artist Statement” 전시 및 출판을 통해 작가들의 최신 Artist Statement를 소개한다. Artist Statement #4는 Lesley Bunch, Ye Chan Cheong 정예찬, Suzie Dittenber, Bahar Faraz, Jake Francis,Scott Nelson Foster, Anne Herzbluth, Jessica Holmes, Malgorzata Kaczmarska, Usumurasaki Kana, Bo Kyung Kim, Ayse Kucuk, KX2 (Ruth Avra & Dana Kleinman), Kerri Lee 캐리리, Philip Lindsey, Eric Long, Juyi Mao, Changyeob Ok 옥창엽, Sung Eun Park,Todd Reynolds, Dario Ricciardi, Lyu Rui, Zelene Schlosberg, SUHPERZEB, Star Trauth, Kira Walz, Shane Ward, Jennifer Wester, Eric Zeigler를 포함한 30명의 전 세계 작가의 작품 및 Artist Statement를 소개한다.

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.
