Nathalie Boseul SHIN is the curator behind this international digital art festival from the beginning. At first, this media art exhibition was planned to promote the city

by Eujongbu City. Since 2007, she has developed this project as a regular media art project at the TOTAL MUSEUM of Contemporary Art. The last two project <Digital Playground 2008 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hack the city!> and <Digital Playground 2009- Open your Source> earned quite an attention from the general public and art people, resulting a group of media art fans in Korea. What make this project unique among many other media art exhibitions is that it always develops some sort of workshops that anyone interested can participate, making media art more accessible. In 2010, this project will be executed in Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia, a perfect city to introduce media art where people have a great interest in digital technologies media art.

reallyGood, Murder

Suntag NOH

Once again, I borrow Hannah Arendt’s words.

“Where all are guilty, no one is; confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of culprits, and the very magnitude of the crime the best excuse for doing nothing.”4

What the heck does that mean?

Warning: Sago Requires Sago.5

1) Hannah Arendt, 1969, On Violence, trans. Jung Han Kim, Seoul: E-who Publishing Co., 2000, p28.

2) This phrase comes from the artwork that Antonio Muntadas translated and exhibited in different languages. It could mean that perception inevitably requires to involvement, or also that the prerequisite of involvement is perception. To this, a “warning” is added, which I understand as “You may get hurt if you know this”, which, reversed, could also be understood as “It’s better not to know this.”

3) Sven Lindqvist, 2001, A History of Bombing, translated in Korean by Nam Soeb Kim, Hankyoreh Publishing Co.,2003, p240.

4) Hannah Arendt, 1969, On Violence, translated in Korean by Jung Han Kim, E-who Publishing Co., 2000.

5) NOH Suntag copying Mr. Muntadas The term of ‘Sago’ has two meanings in Korean, ‘thinking’ and ‘disaster’.
