Participant Reviews · April 2026
4 participants. All recommended 9–10 / 10.
“Shock and revelation. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. AI can organize folders, build websites, create mockups for exhibition proposals — I had no idea any of this was possible.”
— Ajin Lim · Recommendation 10/10
“It was a fun workshop — I learned just how far you can go when you use AI well. I've already installed VS Code and started building my own website with Claude.”
— Kim Hanbyul · Recommendation 10/10
“I already had some experience with AI tools, but through this workshop I felt like I relearned how to approach open calls and opportunities as an artist from the ground up.”
— Workshop participant · Recommendation 9/10
“I was amazed the entire session — the way you broke down exactly which parts of an artist’s work AI can assist with. Grateful for the passionate teaching at just the right time.”
— Workshop participant · Recommendation 10/10
“I had no idea about AI tools at all before this — it helped so much. Thank you.”
— Workshop participant · Recommendation 10/10
April 4, 2026 · First session at Material Memory Studio, Seoul
This is a 3-hour group workshop for artists who feel that their work and their website, Instagram, portfolio, or artist statement haven't kept up — or who haven't yet built the systems to support their practice in the current digital landscape. The session moves through four structured phases: from brand clarity to channel audit, to practical content work, to open call research.
Digital tools — including GPT, Gemini, Claude, and others — are used throughout as practical aids. Not as the subject of the session, but as a means of getting real work done: a clearer sense of your brand language, an updated artist statement, and a concrete starting point for open call applications.
Well-suited for artists who have a body of work but feel their professional presence doesn't reflect it; who are curious about digital tools but haven't made them part of their workflow; or who want a structured, supported environment for the kind of practical work that tends to get postponed.

You don't need a polished portfolio or finished artist statement. That's exactly what we'll work on together.
