FREE ADMISSION
I-Gong (http://www.igong.org/) is a media art group from Seoul, Korea founded in 1999. Their mission is to offer a space in which the minority can dream form its own language through alternative visual art and media.
For this visit to Hong Kong, they will hold a forum and a screening at Videotage to share their experience in the project '2007 New Media SilkRoad'. This will include showing a documentary that contains interviews of various alternative spaces' directors, handing out of the publications of '2007 New Media SilkRoad', and screening of videos coming from Taiwan, Korea, Japan and Hong Kong. The works are carefully selected by I-Gong and June 26 is the only night that one would see the compilation, so do not miss it!
On the other hand, members of I-Gong will also suggest the formation of a 'Asia Alternative Visual Network' which will help connect artists in Asia. They will lead the discussion and professionals in the industry (especially artists, art organizations and art administrators) are most welcome to join to discuss the viability of such a union.
About I-Gong:
The Alternative Visual Art Factory, IGONG, believes that all persons have the right to be respected, and aims for the practical goal—the concrete realization of "the dignity of man" and "equal relationship," regardless of a person’s economic position, race, gender, class, abilities, educational background, and/or disabilities. Through diverse visual art and media that reflect such a philosophy, production, research, and discourse, our goal is to enable the activists of the next generation to build and develop a foundation of a diverse media culture and language respectful of the voice of the minority, as well as to record this process.

I-Gong (http://www.igong.org/) 是來自韓國首爾、於 1999 年成立的一個媒體藝術團體，他們旨在給另類的少數群提供一個發聲渠道，讓人以自己的語言，編織個人視覺藝術和媒體的夢想。
是次訪港，他們將舉辦一次討論及放映會，分享他們於 2007 進行的計劃，名為《新媒體絲綢之路》。內容包括放映多位亞州另類藝術空間之總監的訪問片段、分享《新媒體絲綢之路》書冊、及放映多個來自台灣、韓國、日本及香港的錄像作品。此系列作品為 I-Gong 精心挑選之作，只此一晚 ，不容錯過﹗
另外，I-Gong 亦將建議成立「亞洲另類視覺網絡」，以連繫各亞洲藝術家，希望屆時能引起觀眾及業內人士（尤其是藝術家、藝術團體及行政人員）之討論，以商議其可行性。
關於 I-Gong: 作為一所另類的視藝工場，IGONG 相信每個人不論任何背景、種族、性別、階層、能力、學識、身體狀況等都有權利去追求一個共同理念：能夠實踐和體會個人應有的專嚴和享有平等地位。我們透過享有共同理念的視覺藝術和媒體活動，夢想和創造一個更美好的世界。通過研究、製作、討論等渠道，提供年輕社會運動支持者一個表達意見和記錄的平台。
