Networking Event Gwangyang – Linz Media Arts Exchange

Jin Lee (KR/DE), Till Schönwetter (AT)

How do two cities rooted in distinct cultural and technological contexts learn from one another and create space for artistic resonance? This event presents the Gwangyang – Linz Media Arts Exchange 2025, a bilateral initiative supporting knowledge transfer and artistic collaboration. As part of this program, one Austrian and one Korean artist will each be awarded a grant to showcase their work in exhibitions across both cities. The event is open to artists, curators, and festival visitors interested in cross-cultural media art practice.

    Jin Lee

    Jin Lee is a Berlin-based media artist and art technician who creates interactive environments using computational systems and electronics. His work explores the boundary between order and chaos, revealing emergent behaviors within kinetic and digital systems. Drawing from nature and technology, he translates complex patterns into sensory experiences. His internationally-exhibited installations blur the line between the digital and organic.

    Till Schönwetter

    Till Schönwetter is a new media artist whose work spans technical systems and poetic structures, crafting playful, romantic critiques of technological inevitability. With a background in landscape painting, his practice moves across interaction, fiction, and systems thinking, folding digital tools into strange experiments, unruly interfaces, and speculative environments. His works tend to glitch, loop, or contradict themselves as systems and environments that misbehave just enough to stay alive.
