“Media Peninsula” as a Platform of Jumping Together

Today, with rapid developments in digital media technology, arts and science technology are no strangers to each other. In fact, they are in a symbiotic relationship that complements each other’s shortages and breaks down the boundaries between different fields. Arts have utilized technology to specify and realize artistic imagination. Art has also become a stepping stone for science to cope with another technological challenge by breathing with humane and creative contents. In the summer of 2014, the Korean Society of Media & Arts(KOSMA) had suggested a new vision of consilience within different academic fields through “Media Peninsula International Exchanging Event" and provide an opportunity for mutual development of arts and technology. In today’s media era, otherwise called digital age or cultural age, the exchanges of researches through multimedia network will contribute to qualitative innovation of designing, planning and producing of new media contents, not to say academic research about media. That is to say, it allows the creation of future-oriented, integrated knowledge and creative contents. This study considers the value of 2014 Media Peninsula, as providing a place of integrated exchanges that reflects the KOSMA's research ideology. Media Peninsula event provided the opportunities of introspection in which relationships of various studies were viewed through international and cross-cultural perspectives. The expansion of this kind of international event contributes to broaden and deepen the understanding of cultural assets and identities between different countries in the future.
