The Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong presents "Speculative Visions of a Post-Climate Future", a Korea-Hong Kong media art exchange exhibition on view from June 4 to July 4, 2026. Organized in celebration of the 2026 “Year of Cultural Exchange among Korea, China, and Japan,” the exhibition brings together contemporary media artists and curators from Korea and Hong Kong in a collaborative platform for creative dialogue. Centered on the theme of a post-climate-change future, the exhibition explores evolving relationships between humans, the environment, and technology through a diverse range of media, including virtual reality, game-based works, and moving-image installations. The project is co-curated in partnership with Studio for Narrative Spaces—an artistic collective formed by practitioners from the School of Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong—and aims to foster sustained artistic exchange and collaboration between the two regions. ▲Yeom Inhwa, Koko Killing Island: Tour d'Epicure (Photo credit: RAY LC and Evan Zhao Yifan) ▲Kim Sangdon, The Eggs (Photo credit: RAY LC and Evan Zhao Yifan) ▲Jang Yunyoung, Symbiotic Luminescence (Photo credit: RAY LC and Evan Zhao Yifan) ▲Oh Jooyoung, Scope of the Cloud (Photo credit: RAY LC and Evan Zhao Yifan) ▲Koh Hui, Perceive (Panorama) ▲Picture Rhythm Studios and Studio for Narrative Spaces, Nonhumotion 2.0 (Photo credit: RAY LC and Evan Zhao Yifan) The exhibition features leading Korean media artists Yeom Inhwa, Kim Sangdon, Oh Jooyoung, Kohui, Jang Yunyoung, and Hong Kong-based team Picture Rhythm Studios. Through distinct artistic approaches and technological mediums, the participating artists envision speculative futures shaped by climate crisis, proposing new ecological and technological paradigms that move beyond anthropocentric perspectives. Yeom Inhwa’s VR work adopts the format of virtual tourism to explore the historical trajectory of climate crises and transformations in media technology. Kim Sangdon visualizes questions surrounding life and futurity through the motif of the egg. Oh Jooyoung presents a game-based narrative of human-ecological relationships set within a speculative future city, while Kohui employs video and sound to reconfigure the rhythms and structures of contemporary society. Jang Yunyoung’s AI-driven video work reflects on symbiotic relations within marine ecosystems affected by climate change, and Picture Rhythm Studios proposes a new narrative of survival in which technology and ritual converge in a post-collapse world.
