BusanMoca Platform, an annual event that Busan MoCA has been hosting since 2023, is an exhibition that shares our continued social reflections and queries about the environment and ecosystem in anticipation of the future that awaits us around the seismic turn of planetary change. Following the first exhibition in 2023, which contemplated on the primal relationship between ‘Nature and humanity, 2024 BusanMoca Platform_ I’m sorry Dave I’m afraid I can’t do that expands our journey to stories on the sustainability of future environment under the themes of digital smart technology, convergence world, and the substantive connection and interaction between humans and the environment. Centering its composition around new technological convergence media artworks across interactive media art, crypto art, artificial intelligence, data sculptures, game, and videos, the exhibition combines the format of its existing contest-based selections and invited works by overseas as well as domestic artists. The creative coexistence and fusion of machine prediction and human sensibility, notions of ‘actual reality,’ and emotional exchanges in the age of augmented humanity offer new forms of exchanges and experiences by expanding the overarching theme of the ‘environment and ecology.’
