This event is jointly organized by the Graduate School of Advanced Imaging Science, the Institute for Convergence of Image Content, and the BK21 Phase 4 AI-Content Future Industry Education and Research Group at Chung-Ang University. It will serve as an international platform for academic and artistic exchange, bringing together participants from around the world via an online platform.

This year, under the theme "AI^ver.6.0: Neuromancer's Dream," the festival will explore the new sensory landscapes created at the intersection of artificial intelligence, art, and society.

Inspired by William Gibson's science fiction novel "Neuromancer" (1984), the festival will present futuristic visions in which artificial intelligence and virtual reality expand human memory, perception, and reality, and will seek new visual languages and social meanings at the crossroads of art and technology.

The festival consists of three main programs: Exhibition, Conference, and Film.

The Exhibition, "Horizons of Synesthesia," is a showcase of the convergence of art and technology that expands the boundaries of human senses.

Graduate students will participate by presenting new attempts in advanced art such as media art, interactive installations, and AI-based video works. Selected works by international artists, chosen through an open call, will also be exhibited.

The Conference, "Palimpsest of Reality," is an academic program that explores the multilayered realities where artificial intelligence, art, and society intersect.

Experts from more than five countries, including Nao Tokui (professor and artist at Shiga University, Japan), Isabelle Arvers (independent researcher and curator from France), as well as participants from the United States, Australia, and India, will take part. Graduate students will also present their research.

The Film section, "Echoes of Memories," is a student-produced film preview program that introduces works by emerging creators who express the echoes of memory and emotion through visual language. Sensory narratives reinterpreted from the perspective of the younger generation will be screened online for audiences worldwide.

Park Jinwan, professor at the Graduate School of Advanced Imaging Science at Chung-Ang University and head of the organizing committee, stated, "AIIF is a venue where academic discourse and artistic experimentation meet, and it will showcase new creative trends that transcend the boundaries between technology and art."
