The 10th Seoul Mediacity Biennale Eu Zên

The 10th Seoul Mediacity Biennale Eu Zên, was held from September 6 to November 18, 2018, at the Seoul Museum of Art Seosomun and Seoullo Media Canvas. The 10th edition of the Biennale focused on the fundamental changes in the modern world wrought by new industrial revolutionary flow, economic inequality, ageism and climate crisis. Combinations of these factors effectively altered our material and mentali lifestyles at their core, begging the question “What is a good life (eu zên)?” Just as Athenians established the “agora” as a gathering place in the city center where individuals could share personal and public stories, Eu Zên invited people from various fields including economic, artistic, environmental, technological and cultural as Biennale’s “participants” to connect, discuss and present their ideas, all while engaging in diverse modes of dialogue, expression and movement related to the “good life.”
