In 2023, the Arts Council Korea (ARKO) and Ars Electronica implement an onsite curatorial residency program that invites upcoming curators and cultural producers to spend four months in Linz to learn about the vision, philosophy, and practice of Ars Electronica (Linz, Austria). The main focus will be on managing programs within the Ars Electronica Festival, the world’s largest media arts festival, as well as experiencing the jury meeting of the Prix Ars Electronica, the Oscar of media arts. The program also provides insight knowledge and the opportunity to empower the capabilities and learn new skills through experiencing the practice and development of education, research, competition, and other aspects of the Ars Electronica activities within the departments of the Ars Electronica Center, Ars Electronica Futurelab and Ars Electronica Solutions.
Arts Council Korea (ARKO) implements the Curatorial Residency Program as part of the International Exchange Program in collaboration with Ars Electronica. Through this program, media arts will be considered across the fields of science, education, business, and social responsibility, by being presented as a new cultural and artistic field. The program is designed to encourage the next generation of curators and cultural producers to think about media arts across a wide range of sectors, including science, education, and business, to create a new culture and a new framework for media arts, independent from existing concepts. The goal is to develop personnel resources and a creative platform for Korean arts internationally
