The theme of this 7th forum is 'New Ground: Technology, Creation, and the Transformation of Contemporary Art.'

Amid the profound changes brought about by artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technology in the art ecosystem, the forum aims to engage in in-depth discussions on the essence of creation and the new directions that contemporary art should pursue.

The forum's name, 'Gukje,' is the pen name of Jeong Jeomsik, who laid the foundation for Keimyung University College of Fine Arts and dedicated his life to the development of the local art scene.

This forum is expected to serve not only as a platform to carry on his pioneering aesthetic approach, but also as an opportunity to redefine the value of art in a creative environment integrated with modern technology.

Dean Kim Yunhee stated, "Through this forum, we hope to assess the current state of the art world as it undergoes a technological transformation and to present new directions for artists to pursue."
