Starting Strong: South Korea's Media Arts Community

Everyday occurrences can lead to extraordinary events. Not long ago a polite gentleman visited 911 Media Arts Center and asked me for a tour. This isn't unusual; giving tours is part of my job. However, I was surprised to learn he was the director of a brand new media center in South Korea called MediACT. He told me he was researching different media arts center models and was interested in 911 because he liked our website. As webmaster, I was terribly flattered. I proceeded to show him every last detail of our center, and he dutifully captured it all on video.
