WE IN THE VIRTUAL NOW: Conversation with Hojin Kang

Relationship to digital and alternative practice

We in the virtual now. How can we design strategies together for a desirable future? 
The Stadtgalerie, as a place for critical reflection, explores digital relationship and alternative practice together with designer, art director and artist Hojin Kang.

Katharina Ritter and Hojin Kang discussed this with various professional groups on Friday 17 September, with Leo Scheidt (curator), Katharina Kunze (municipal women's representative), Martin Pollermann (TAEKWONDO. Seoul. Ra Jin Oh.) and Dr Patrick Gebhard (DFKI).

In the evening, a discussion with media artist and researcher Mert Akbal took place as part of the "STADTGALERIE DRAUSSEN" series, on the Waldbühne in the Deutsch-Französischer Garten.

Virtually present was WebAri, a virtual “Statue of Peace” developed by Hojin Kang as a portable monument.
