Purpose
The 2017 conference “Classical Arts and Digital Technology” seeks international exchange in culture and the arts, bringing together cultural and artistic experts from around the world, foreign artists working in Korea, and members of the public to share diverse perspectives on art.

The conference looks back at the genre-specific meanings and aesthetic history of classical art while offering a forum for discourse and debate on perceptions of classical art in today’s era of digital synthesis. It aims to build a new paradigm for transmedia studies with researchers working across dance, cinema, culture, music, and other artistic fields.
