2007 Gwangju Design Biennale
EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT
The 2007 Gwangju Design Biennale follows the successful inaugural 2005 edition, where over 30,000 people attended. During the opening ceremony on 5 October, Kim Dae Joong, former President of South Korea and Nobel Peace Prize Winner, will read the World Design Peace Announcement.
The main exhibition will be divided into several themed zones.
Theme Space / Light Tunnel / Light Plaza
Light brightens our world. Besides the literal meaning of light brightening the Earth as the morning rays of sunshine spell the end to darkness, the word "light" carries deeper spiritual as well as ethical connotations as well. The main exhibition represents the heart of the Gwangju Design Biennale 2007. This sector will feature both the symbolic pieces of "Light Tunnel" as well as the "Light Plaza" by interpolating both the figurative as well as the literal sense of the word "light".
Link to the Future
The imagination of design is the essence of utopia. Utopia in design correlates developments in technology with the future of daily living in a manner that is amiable to the environment. The first piece of the main exhibit deals with design and the future. Imagining the future is tantamount to imagining the future of design. This sector deals with advances in digital technology and design, digital convergence, the ubiquity of environment and design, the future of urban planning and design, visual communications and design, as well as the evolution of design in home appliances.
