CD-ROMS . ' Curator Kim Hong-hee selected 13 video artists and

5 computer artists respectively .

' he theme of the InfoART exhibition is'interactivity .' In other words, it is the creation of a interactive art thatmakes possible intersubjective communication between art and the viewer .As seen from the dictionary definition of information, i .e ., "the act ofinforming" or "being informed," information art must be in the form of adialogue. In a way, all art can be considered information art. Line, color,form and sometimes action can play the role of the information as anartistic language or a sign system . However, in the era of information inwhich we live today, what we mean by information art is the art thatutilizes today's information technology . And because it utilizes theinformation technology, it is also a kind of technological art . However,information technology in the post-industrial era is unlike the technologyof the past . It is high' technology that relies on Artificial Intelligence .Because of this, information art can also be called high-tech art or digitalart . Introducing interactive high-tech art is one of the primary objectivesof the InfoART exhibition .

s we call art that uses technology, technological art, we now .call art that uses information technology, information art . `No

doubt, information technology utilizes all technologies, but it isvery distinctly different from technologies of the past . Whereasthe technologies of the industrial era meant the extension ofphysical functions, the present information technology of the post-industrial era can be represented as the extension of thefunctions of the brain . The expansion of the brain goes beyondtechnological conveniences but brings about ecologicaltransformations which regulate the thoughts and behaviors ofhuman beings and changes that occur in the social order due tosuch transformations . In this sense, the meaning and direction ofinformation technology should be fully recognized . (Kim Hong-hee)

e are at a crossroads . The future is

now . The world has been unified via words, texts, video and three-

dimensioal images . The art world has not only caught up with but also

embraced modern technology . Pen, pencil, paint, canvas, wood, metal,

marble, all still exist and in all probability will continue to do so for

sometime in the future . Yet at the same time, artists who wield these

materials will be just as likely to have a homepage as a studio : have

their works digitally catalogued and in print format; and show their works

in a commercial traditional gallery as well as simultaneously present it on-

line in a digital gallery . Perhaps what is most reassuring for the intrepid

Cybertaveler is that tradition need not be rejected when traversing habitats

in the new space . Both can harmoniously coexist . In fact, it seems as if

it is through this coexistence that some of the most fruitful investigations

of today are being made, investigations which expand our notions of our

traditional space and of Cyberspace and beyond as well .

espite the expense and the uncertainty, the global community

is committed to Cybertavel . InfoART celebrates this journey and

will hopefully guide today's voyager in the exploration of new

and unprecedented pathways which comprise a technical "rite de

passage . "(Cynthia Goodman)

I ,

ow evolution leads us to the interactive

media across the world - instant and inexpensive and it is about time to

get together in Kwangju, Korea and think about i t . . . . .What will

happen in twenty years ? 2015 ? Sad fact is that I will be 83 years old .

Otherwise interactive art will be fine. In one way video art will surpass

herself in 1995-2015 in two-way video artivideo life .(Nam June Paik)
