SEOUL TECH VER 2.0 + ART Party @Platoon Kunsthalle

SEOUL TECH VER 2.0 + ART w/media artist Lee Rahm and sound performer Sunghyun Cho.

The worlds of art and technology are once again coming together on December 12 at Platoon Kunsthalle. SeoulTech pre-christmas party featuring an art-exhibition by Lee Rahm and a sound performance by Sunghyun Cho offers a perfect opportunity to connect with others who love tech and art. 

Exhibition: “Rahm”

The word “Rahm” represents deep blue, the color of the ocean as extracted from the indigo plant. The same character in its verb form represents the overflowing of energy. In her first solo exhibition Rahm Lee goes beyond defining her medium. You will experience how her works converge and communicate over each others' realms to morph into different forms.

Rahm Lee

The works of Rahm Lee span a wide spectrum from video installations to experimental films that embody her theological and socio-critical perspective through metaphors and symbolism. Rahm Lee's first feature film "Virgin Forest"(2012) was invited to screen at the Torino Film Festival and the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Her second feature film " Yongmun"(2013), based on the motif of Korean humor, was presented in the competition category of the Jeonju Film Festival. Several of Rahm Lee's video installation pieces including "숨:결" and "Uprising Falls" is currently on exhibit.She is at present a resident artist at Platoon Kunsthalle.

Sunghyun Cho

Sunghyun Choʼs performative installations have their origin in the perceptive experience of nature, somewhat resembling the early experiences of an infant exploring his or her surroundings. The recurring themes of his works examine the notions of communication, forms generated from the dynamics of nature, and the relationship between space and sound.

Launch Lab, Where Ideas Take Off, June 28

RSVP http://www.meetup.com/seoul-tech-society/events/187283782/

What is LaunchLab? 

As part of the Launch - Hack - Tell cycle of innovation, SeoulTech is proud to announce the "Launch Lab" series of meetups.  This is a new type of event where researchers, entrepreneurs and innovators discuss and propose (any) project, and solicit ideas and help from other SeoulTech members.

Launch Lab helps members take one giant leap beyond networking. These events allow members  to get involved with the creation of new ideas or startups, while forging friendships and business partnerships to last a lifetime. 

How? 

The event features a group of speakers that give a 10 to 15 minute presentation of their idea. The audience then discusses the idea. Audience members can also choose to join or further contribute to the project.

Open discussion sessions will also be available, so if anyone gets inspired they can share and discuss their ideas with the group.

13:00 - 17:00: Presentations + Discussion + Coffee/Beer/Snacks
