Why Take This Class?
Did you stop creative endeavors because you believed you lacked artistic ability?
Have you encountered difficulties locating information about AI tools?
AI allows you to produce previously unimaginable media art and exhibition performances, as well as visual representations of your work.
Nonetheless, a methodical comprehension of AI is necessary.
It should be seen as an entity that maximizes the limitless potential of its creators rather than just a tool that outputs the outcomes of computers and algorithms.
You will study the basic ideas of artificial intelligence (AI), how to organize your work to produce results that flow together, how to work with necessary tools, and how generative image is applied in media art in this course.
You can only take new media art creation classes at Coloso to make photorealistic, sci-fi, and oriental-style movies and graphics. You can even get music to go with your work.

Interview with
Media Artist Youngkak Cho
With so many industries directly and indirectly using AI technologies today and the potential for infinite expansion, we are excited to see a positive change in the direction of the digital media field. Prompt programming, in particular, is an excellent approach to “text” based creation that goes beyond traditional “tools” and is very useful to learn.
Having been in the media art scene for over 10 years with numerous exhibitions and awards, as well as having worked on a number of media artworks utilizing “AI technology” in the last 5 years, my strengths are unique. I’m also working in education, particularly in the form of talks and workshops on the process of AI, selectively implementing some of the key elements of the work I envisioned.
Through the engineering of natural language prompts to prompt the AI, the curriculum is designed to create any kind of visual artwork, including images, videos, and even sound, without the need for complex and difficult skills. Above all, we aim to make it easy for anyone to try their hand at generative image, a field that’s at the forefront of the most current issues.
This course is highly recommended for artists who want to learn the latest trends in AI and get into general-purpose new media art, artists who want to create 2D art in a way they’ve never done before, and aspiring creators who want to quickly implement and adapt images from their heads with prompted programming.
