At the World Congress of Arts and Culture's opening in Seoul, media artist Kim Ayoung shared her insights on the role of art in addressing global crises such as AI and climate change. Kim believes that artists act as a litmus test, providing inspiration rather than direct solutions to societal problems. Echoing this sentiment, Austrian artistic director Gerfried Stocker of Ars Electronica highlighted that the essence of art remains human-centric despite technological advances. Both agree AI will not replace humans in creating art's value, emphasizing the importance of 'technology literacy' in navigating these changes. Kim's work has gained international recognition, particularly her award-winning project 'Delivery Dancer's Sphere', and she continues to influence discussions at international art forums.
