Putting the “Face” in “Interface”
As technology integrates itself more and more seamlessly and persistently into our daily lives and rituals, how will data be visualized to us? And how will our children learn to absorb and comprehend the rate of change and speed of information in the post-information age? The Incheon Digital Arts Festival Invitational Exhibit, which closes this weekend, tackles these questions through exhibitions showcasing the intersection of avant-garde art and technology. The exhibit is part of the Incheon Global Art Fair and Festival, which riffs on the theme of ”the future city” with three distinct categories: Inter-Time, Inter-Face, and Inter-Space. INDAF 2009 General Director Unzi Kim states,
INDAF aims to interpret our sensational and emotional reaction to the media environment through reproducing artistic codecs within the sphere of art… Each day, the future comes from the continuities of the present. In this exhibition, a happy, thus delightful future, and beautiful life will be presented to you.
