Glimpsing new cultural practices from post-media era creators who continue the avant-garde tradition

New Art Activism focuses on the emerging critical trends in new artistic creation and media expression in contemporary Korean society. It defines various practices such as artistic action, cultural intervention, activism, alternative media, electronic resistance, and DIY culture —shown by domestic creators who infiltrate systemic power— as ‘new art activism,’ and examines the intellectual genealogy of new cultural practices growing alongside technology. Through the journey of those who create their own life and sovereign spaces while working in contemporary art, design, culture, and media fields, we can glimpse the new landscape of our cultural practices.
