Nam June Paik's Robot Meets AI: "Today's Machines Speak Smoothly"

Translated from Korean Read in Korean

The National Asia Culture Center is hosting the ACT Festival, an art-technology festival, from the 23rd until next month's 8th. The festival features 29 teams from 10 countries, showcasing fusion works that explore the development of technology and what it means to be human. Notable works include artist Nam June Paik's 1964 robot 'K-456' and artist No Jin-ah's 'Nerva Artificia', an AI robot that converses with visitors.

The festival also features a virtual reality piece honoring the victims of the 5·18 democratization movement.
