미국 콜로라도주 박람회 미술전에서 신인 디지털 아티스트 부문에서 1위를 차지한 게임 디자이너인 제이슨 앨런의 작품 스페이스오페라 극장'이 AI Image generator Midjourney를 활용해서 완성된 작품이라는 것이 알려지면서 창작과 예술 분야에 AI 활용이라는 논쟁이 가속화되고 있다. 창작과 예술을 돕는 탁월한 기능을 가진 툴로 바라보거나 창작과 예술 활동에 아이디어를 제공하고 작품을 구체화하는 과정의 조력자로 환영하는 입장과 예술가의 작품을 허가 없이 훔쳐서 만들어 낸 이미지일 뿐이라는 이상도 이하도 아니며 도덕적으로 허락되어서는 안되다는 입장이 크게 충돌하고 있다. 하루가 다르게 빠르게 발전하고 있는 주요 AI Image generator를 살펴보고 창작과 예술 분야에 AI 활용은 어떤 변화를 가져올지, AI 활용의 긍정적인 측면을 예측하고 연구해 보고자 한다.

대통령자문 건설기술 건축문화선진화위원회가 이례적으로 건축물이 아닌 작품을 선정했다. 젊은 아티스트들의 작품을 전시. 판매하고 다양한 공연도 펼치는 홍대 앞의 명물 '프리마켓(www.freemarket.or.kr)'이 바로 그것이다. 일상 예술창작센터가 운영하는 프리마켓은 생활창작 아티스트 100여명이 만든 예술성을 지난 독창적인 생활용품과 장신구 미술작품 등을 전시 판매하는 곳으로 홍대 앞 어린이 놀이터 '홍익어린이공원'내에 매주 토요일 오후에 운영도는 거리 마켓이다. 유럽등지에 성행하는 Flea market(중고물품이나 생활용품을 교환 매매하는곳)과는 완전히 다른 개념인 free market 즉, 창작품과 창작행위가 펼쳐지는 예술시장인 것이다. 따라서 이곳을 찾은 외국인들은 그들 나라에서 보아왔던 Flea market로 착각하는 일도 흔히 발행하기도 하지만 어쨌든, 도심 속 외진 곳에 버려질 뻔했던 공간이 새롭게 태어나고 있는 점에서 매우 관심을 갖게 하는 곳이다.

본 연구는 '인공지능이 그린 그림은 예술적 가치가 있는가?' '인공지능을 활용한 21세기의 현시대 예술은 무엇인가?' '어떻게 실현되는가?'라는 실천적 질문에서 출발하였다. 4차 산업혁명은 초실감(Hyper-Reality), 초지능(Hyper-Intellect), 초연결(Hyper-connect)로 '초(Hyper)의 시대'를 예고하고 있다. 이 혁명은 현시대 예술가에게 현실과 가상을 분간할 수 없는 혼합현실환경, 예술의 창작활동에 훌륭한 조수로서 역할을 할 수 있는 인공지능, 예술적 경험을 가상과 현실을 넘나들며, 언제 어디서나 즉각적으로 체험할 수 있는 기술을 제공한다. 실천적 질문에 대한 해답을 찾기 위하여 주관기관 홍익대학교, 참여기관 서울미디어대학원대학교, (주)브이알애드가 2018년 5월부터 2019년 12월까지 2년간 진행한 한국콘텐츠진흥원 문화기술 연구개발 지원사업 '인공지능 기반 창작 아틀리에 발굴 및 구축 기술 개발 프로젝트'를 통하여 인공지능 엔진(stNET, vidNET, hdtNET, omniNET)을 개발하였고 예술가와 4번의 전시를 통하여 성능 및 가치를 실증하였다. 인공지능은 그동안의 예술적 장르와는 차별화된 특이점을 가지고 있으며 응용 범위 또한 다양하다. 현시대 예술가에게 새로운 장르 개척의 훌륭한 조수로서 역할이 가능하다는 것이다. 그동안 현대 예술의 조형과 개념 미술에 한정적 메시지를 넘어, 인공지능기반 초 실감, 실 시간, 직관적 인터랙션을 통하여 직접적 예술 경험을 체험할 수 있다는 점에서, 현시대의 예술가에게 초 경험 예술(Hyper-Experience Art)의 시작인 동시에 새로운 장르 개척의 단초가 제공된다.

This study aims to identify how performing artists in Korea, who are the target beneficiaries of the Arts Council Korea's Performing Arts Fostering Program, Chang-jak-san-shil(CJSS), would perceive and assess the current state of CJSS and its effects. To do so, this paper has adopted a bottom-up approach as a theoretical lens for policy evaluative analysis. This research engages with qualitative research design by conducting a series of in-depth interviews and FGIs with 28 participants in total. The interview participants consist of CJSS grantees(n=21) and peer-review panels(n=7) based on the intension to enhance objectivity and reliability of the study. Results of the data analysis suggest that the grant program still carries pressing needs to achieve a success as follows: providing post-program support, enhancing transparency of the panel appointment process and the peer review process, reflecting different nature of each arts discipline, and having more open communications with arts professionals. Based on these findings, this paper will provide and discuss about policy implications which can contribute to the performing arts domain at large.

Cartoons and Animation are convergent arts created with a composite application of language arts described in the form of literary texts and sounds, plastic arts visualized in the form of artistic paintings, and film arts produced in the form of moving pictures. An academic university major in cartoons and animation studies established in late 20th century however, did not satisfactorily meet the needs in academic research and development and the free expression of artistic creation was limited. In order to systematize the major in cartoons and animation studies, an convergent approach to establish and clarify following are in demand : the terms and definitions, the historical developments, the research areas and methods, the major education and related jobs and start-ups. New culture and arts industries including cartoons, animation, moving images, and games contents are not yet listed in the industries listing service jointly provided online by the portal site Naver.com and Hyung-Seol publishing company. Above all, cartoons and animation are inseparably related to each other that even if one uses the term separately and independently, the meaning may not be complete. So a new combined term "Animatoon" can be established for the major in cartoons and animation studies and also used for its degree with concentrations of cartoons, animation, moving images, games, and etc. In the Introduction, a new combined term Animatoon is defined and explained the use of this term as the name of the major and degree in cartoons and animation studies. In the body, first, the Historical Developments classified Animatoon in the ancient times, the medieval times, and the modern times and they are analyzed with the help of esthetics and arts using examples of mural frescos, animal painting, religion cartoons, caricatures, cartoons, satire cartoons, comics, animation, 2 or 3 dimensional webtoons, and K-toons. Second, the Research Areas of Animatoon reviewed the theories, genres, artworks, and artists and the Research Methods of Animatoon presented the curriculum that integrated the courses in humanities, science technologies, culture and arts, and etc. Third, the Major Education considered Animatoon education in children, young adults, students of the major and the Related Jobs and Start-Ups explored various jobs relating to personal creation of artwork and collective production of business-oriented artwork. In the Conclusion, the current challenges of Animatoon considered personalization of the artists, specialization of the contents, diversification of the types, and liberalization of the art creation. And the direction of improvement advocated Animatoon to be an academic field of study, to be an art, to be a culture, and to be an industry. The importance of cartoons and animation along with videos and games rose in the 21st century. In order for cartoons and animation to take a leading role, make efforts in studying Animatoon academically and also in developing Animatoon as good contents in the cultural industries.

본 논문은 최근 출시된 반 고흐 VR 예술작품의 2D 및 3D 콘텐츠에 대한 경험을 분석했다. 두 가지의 콘텐츠에서 쾌락적 특성이 강하게 나타났으며, 원작의 재생산된 작품으로서가 아니라 새로운 창작물로 인지되었다. 콘텐츠의 일반적 특성과 마찬가지로, 몰입감의 경우에도 2D 보다는 3D 콘텐츠에 대한 평가가 더욱 긍정적으로 이루어졌으며, 두 가지의 콘텐츠에서 가장 높게 평가된 몰입감 요인은 주의집중력으로 제시되었다. 특히 3D 콘텐츠의 경우, 다감각적 촉진은 가상공간에서의 현존감(presence)과 관련된 육체적 움직임에 대한 역동성에 영향을 미쳤으며, 원작에 대한 현존감은 가상공간에서의 현존감과 몰입감으로 대체되었다. 3D 기반의 콘텐츠는 학습에 대한 내재적 동기부여를 비롯, 그룹 토의의 활성화, 예술작품 및 작가에 대한 관심 증가 등의 몰입형 학습 도구로서의 효용성이 유의미하게 나타났다. 비록 2D 및 3D 콘텐츠의 몰입학습을 위한 도구로서의 적합성이 예술작품에 대한 감상 및 해석도구로서의 적합성보다 높게 제시되기는 했지만, 예술작품의 진정성과 아우라라는 관점에서 보면 '회화적 동일성'은 존재했지만 콘텐츠의 재창조적 특성으로 인해 '미학적 동일성'은 보장되지 못했다. 이러한 현상은 VR 예술작품의 콘텐츠 제작 목적의 상이함 뿐만 아니라 기술적 정교함 및 예술적 전문성 결여에 기인한다.

The purpose of this study was to define the 'caligraphy as a modern concept of art. For this purpose, it was necessary to exclude the elements betraying 'the caligraphy as a pure art' in reference to 'autonomy' as an indicator of modernity in order to reflect on the current topology of the caligraphy in our age. Checking the current conditions facing the caligraphy from the pre-modern, modern and post-modern perspectives will clarify the current topology of the caligraphy and further exploring 'the caligraphy as a post-modern art concept. To this end, this study defines the caligraphy 'as a pure formative art' and thereby discusses it in terms of nature and form. In terms of nature, the caligraphy should be subsumed into a spacial art, but it has a nature of a temporal art created and appreciated over time. Hence, among the spacial arts, the painting is most similar to the caligraphy, while among the temporal arts, the caligraphy is most similar to such rhythmic (of high mobility) or performing arts as music and dance. Merely, the painting does not reveal the flow of time on the canvas, while music and dance leave no residual in terms of audibility and visuality. All in all, the caligraphy is sort of 'temporal-spacial art' like dance in that the visible letters express the artist's sense of life on the plane over time like music. In terms of form, this study compares the caligraphy with engraving, wood print and character design to define the caligraphy as a pure art concept. The caligraphy as a modern art concept, namely, the autonomy of the caligraphy is associated with legibility and meaning in addition to the question whether it is an applied or a pure art. The legibility and meaning of the characters are not only the essential elements of the caligraphy but also are the factors limiting its autonomy, which must be a paradox. All in all, the legibility and meaning of the characters must be the key criteria for determining the caligraphy as a practical art or literary art or as a pure figurative art. In this context, this study discusses the caligraphy as a pure art by comparing it with the spatial art 'painting' and the temporal art 'music.' It might be impossible to define the caligraphy or a genre of art as an autonomous art of self-perfection and categorical identity. Moreover, any attempt to define the caligraphy would fail to interpret the caligraphy appropriately. Merely, we are obliged to position the caligraphy in the process of localizing 'their modernity' and thereby, discuss how to respond to their scheme.

In this study, we developed a virtual artist play lesson model using gamification concepts and AI-generated art programs to foster creative thinking in freshman art majors. Targeting first-year students in the Digital Media Art Department at Sichuan Film & Television University in China, this course aims to alleviate fear of artistic creation and enhance problem-solving abilities. The educational model consists of four stages: persona creation, creative writing, text visualization, and virtual exhibitions. Through persona creation, students established their artist identities, and by introducing game-like elements into writing experiences, they discovered their latent creativity. Using AI-generated art programs for text visualization, students gained confidence in their creations, and in the virtual exhibitions, they were able to enhance their self-esteem as artists by appreciating and evaluating each other's works. This educational model offers a new approach to promoting creative thinking and problem-solving skills while increasing learner engagement and interest. Based on these research findings, we expect that by developing and implementing educational strategies that cultivate creative thinking, more students will grow their artistic capacities and creativity, benefiting not only art majors but also students from various fields.
