The 13th Seoul Mediacity pre-Biennale II Notes for a Séance Identity, 2024. Design: Daniel Leyva

This event introduces ideas informing the curatorial imagination for the 13th edition of the Seoul Mediacity Biennale. Through three presentations and corresponding screenings, the artistic directors will explore the intersection of mysticism, the occult, art, technology, and society across histories, geographies, and cultures. The event will share and discuss concepts such as: the relationship of mysticism, death, and immortality; the séance as a metaphor for navigating between presence and absence, or conscious and unconscious; the role of technopolitics; and other key ideas.
