What vectors will the art be developing in the future? How does it evolve in the era of new technologies? CEO The Art Newspaper Nick Sargent and TAEX Head of Development Stefanie De Regel will be debating on the future of art and its heritage, media art and the challenges of AI towards it. The discussion will be moderated by an Executive Director Maison Suri / Suri Paris Su Park.

 

By contributing to the art industry from different angles—media, theory, curation—the panellists will reflect on new trends that bring art into a new chapter with AI, new media and NFT and share their thoughts on the place of the Korean art scene in this ecosystem. How do curators and art critics perceive their criteria and their responsibility towards the art community today?
