2ND SEOUL INTERNATIONAL MEDIA ART BIENNALE 2002
Lunar’s Flow
26 September – 24 November 2002

Director : Wonil Rhee

Curators : Michael Cohen, Marie de Brugerolle, Gregor Jansen Kim Machan, Gunalan Nadarajan, Huang Du, Azuyama Takashi

“Lunar’s Flow” was the theme for the 2nd biennale, which explored the new sublime as a metaphor for the cyber sublime of the moon and all the utopian fantasies nurtured by the human mind imagined to exist there. Along with sub-themes like “Digital Sublime,” “Cyber Mind,” “Luna’s Children,” and “Luna Nova,” the exhibition framed media not as means of “conquest” but as a tool for restoring romantic feelings long forgotten by human beings. Through this thematic approach, the 2nd Seoul International Media Art Biennale introduced a new model for the biennale format.
