Curator: Yeohyun Ahn, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Graphic design has a history that spans over 15,000 years. It started with cave paintings and progressed through the Gutenberg printing press and the Industrial evolution. The 20th century brought digital art and new media. Graphic design is crucial in improving visual communication on various platforms. The theme, “동동 (憧憧, Dong-Dong),” highlights the importance of human emotions in building strong community connections. The exhibition showcases innovative and experiential graphic works that reflect the theme using creative coding, artificial intelligence, digital fabrication, and extended realities. It aims to foster a trustworthy global unity enriched by creative graphic design for digital art.

EXHIBITION in SNU Museum of Art
GOOD MORNING MR. ORWELL VER.2
• Date :
23~29 May 2025
• Time : 10:00-18:00, Last admission at 17:30 (KST)
• Venue
: Seoul National University Museum of Art (Gallery 1-4)
• Website : snumoa.org
Imagining the future
inevitably evokes reflection on the present. The exhibition begins with a belief that technology will ease
conflicts, bring peace and harmony to a new future, and envisions a warmer future through the imagination of
artists. As a part of the ISEA2025 exhibitions, Seoul National University Museum of Art presents eight
juried artists from the open call and seven invited artists.
One can dream of the future in
concrete
form within art. Artists promptly discover pieces of life buried in the rapidly changing pace, drawing them
into art to observe once again. Just like Nam June Paik greeted George Orwell in Good Morning Mr. Orwell, in
a future where anxiety and hope coexist, we can look forward to a utopia if we view non-human entities with
warmth and embrace them with our hearts.
