Wireless Art Competition in ResFest Korea 2003

Co-organized by Art Center Nabi

Art Center Nabi is looking for artworks and creative ideas for Wireless Art
Competition in conjunction with Resfest Korea 2003. We hope to explore the
potentials of mobile and wireless as a new communication and expressive medium
for art practice. Works can be described as mobile art, wireless art or
multimedia experiments that open up the possibilities of newly-emerged
technology of wireless. Korea, known for its nation-wide broadband network,
is also a leading country of wireless technologies and services. On this
ground, Art Center Nabi aims to support the production of wireless art. Our
ongoing efforts in the research and production of wireless art are
exemplified by the commission of Maurice Benayoun's Watch Out! in 2002.Art Center Nabi is a center for media arts located in Seoul Korea. Nabi
aims to nurture creativity in art by facilitating communication across
diverse disciplines of humanities, science, technology and art. For more
