“Visual Culture”
September 9 – 27, 2026 CICA Museum, Korea
September 19, 2026
We invite artists, scholars, and researchers from around the world to participate in the International Symposium for Visual Culture & Exhibition 2026. The online symposium brings together a global community of artists, researchers, and academics, while the international exhibition will be held at the CICA Museum in Korea.
ISVC serves as an international platform for diverse and critical perspectives on visual culture. Through this program, we aim to build a global network of researchers, artists, and makers/consumers of visual culture, fostering critical discourse and deeper understanding of visual culture on a global scale.
Participating artists and researchers will be featured in the publication "New Media Art 2027", to be released in full-color paperback and eBook formats in December 2026. Contributions may include English texts (e.g., interview, essay, poetry), drawings, and images introducing the artist's work.
The symposium will be held online on September 19, 2026. (Dates are subject to change.)
Each accepted presenter will have the opportunity to discuss the merits of their contribution with peers. All presenters must register for the symposium upon acceptance and must deliver a presentation or performance during the assigned session.
We welcome proposals for paper presentations, workshops, experimental sessions, and artistic performances.
Each presenter will receive three complimentary general admission tickets to ISVC 2025 to invite guests. Additional tickets will be available for purchase on the ISVC website.
The international exhibition will be held at the CICA Museum from September 9 to 27, 2026. Each artist may exhibit up to two works.
Photographs & 2D Digital Art
Selected works will be printed in 10×15 or 10×10 inches, framed, and installed by museum curators and assistants. Upon request, larger sizes may be available; additional fees may apply.
Video & Interactive Art
The museum will provide projectors and DVD/DIVX players. Multiple single-channel works may be screened on a shared projector. If your work must be screened exclusively or requires more than two projectors/monitors, please indicate this in your submission email. Additional fees may apply.
