Loop Lab Busan 2026: Digital art across 35 venues, from Haeundae to Busan Station
source: Visit Busan
Through June 28, the Busan Museum of Art invites visitors to experience Loop Lab Busan 2026, a digital arts festival spanning 35 venues across the city.
Now in its second year, Loop Lab Busan brings local and international artists together to transform the city into a media arts gallery. The works on display draw on artificial intelligence, augmented reality, virtual reality and NFTs, placing tech-driven art in everyday spaces.
One of the festival’s main exhibitions, “Digital Subculture: Narrative and Story in the Digital Era,” is divided among four sites: The Outdoor Sculpture Park at the Busan Museum of Art, the Busan City Hall Media Wall, the Eurasia Platform at Busan Station and the digital billboard at the Busan Yukaro Building in Haeundae. The exhibition examines how the ubiquity of short-form videos on social media has changed the nature of storytelling. Central to this is “Neo-Kinetoscope,” a concept drawing a parallel between today's fast-paced media environment and the peephole-viewing experience of Thomas Edison's original 1890s Kinetoscope.
In addition, the exhibition “Moving on Asia” offers a glimpse into the social engagement of 16 young Asian artists, who share their sophisticated perspectives on a transforming society. This curated exhibition is available until June 18 at the Busan Cultural Center.
As the festival spans numerous exhibitions across various venues, dates and programs may vary. For full details and schedules, visit the official website at the link below.
