Myongji University design students to present media art at Seoullo exhibition

Students from Myongji University's Visual Communication Design program are set to exhibit their media art at the '2026 Seoullo Media Canvas University Cooperation Exhibition.' The exhibition, hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government's Design Policy Bureau, will run from July 1 to September 19 at the Seoullo Media Canvas in Jung-gu, Seoul.

Fifteen students, under the guidance of Professor Kang Hee-won, will present a diverse range of original media art pieces. This year's exhibition also includes participation from students at Hanyang University ERICA. Together, they will explore themes such as the urban landscape of Seoul, nature, memory, and emotions through their unique artistic visions.

The 'University Cooperation Exhibition' is a significant public art platform designed to introduce the fresh perspectives and experimental approaches of young artists poised to lead the future of media art. Myongji University students have translated everyday experiences and relatable stories into media art, including scenes that offer respite in the fast-paced city, fantastical depictions of childhood memories, and modern reinterpretations of traditional culture.
