The exhibition Crystallize was a part of Korea Brand and Entertainment Expo 2013, celebrating Korea’s technology and creative culture. This exhibition showed how British and Korean artists approach science, IT, technology, social media and cinema through contemporary art.

At the heart of exhibition planning was pioneering and collaborative spirit which brought sixteen UK and Korean artists together in a celebration of technology and creative culture.

The curator, Stephanie Seungmin Kim, feels that artists have significant roles to play in any aspirational world by revealing the unseen, and wanted to be able to show these insights in this exhibition.

Despite the different backgrounds of the sixteen artists, each artist learned from and collaborated with others in exhibiting independent and innovative work.

At the opening of the exhibition, many representatives from the arts and cultural industries were present, such as from the art and cultural industry participated such as the Korea Trade Center (KOTRA), BBC journalist Dan Damon, Professor Mike Stubbs, the director of the FACT arts organization in Liverpool, and the Media Art and the Art Council England.
