MOBILE ASIA COMPETITION 2006
ORGANIZED BY ART CENTER NABI
SEOUL, KOREA
The progress of mobile technology characterized by mobility,
connectivity, and dispersion seems to resonate with the diasporic
experiences of Asians who are mobile, dispersed yet connected with
each other through socio-cultural dynamics and relations. With the
mobile market and its culture expanding beyond Korea, Japan, China,
and Taiwan to the Southeast Asia, the need should be raised for
reflecting upon the currency of culture and the urgency of new
identities that are evolving with mobile technology in Asian region.
Mobile Asia Competition 2006 hosted by Art Center Nabi pays attention
to the role of media makers and artists in articulating and
expressing the Asian mobile cultures. Artists and media makers
always appropriate and challenge the given technology through
creative ideas and critical practices to broaden the space of
possibilities. Especially, the recent emerging ubiquitous mobile
environments requires both popular sentiment and critical thoughts.
Mobile Asia competition 2006 investigates the new forms of Asian
identities and cultures in the creative works of artists and
designers who dare to experiment, play, and wrestle with the mobile
technologies.
