Raiden INST, founded in 2020, derives its name from the symbolic essence of lightning in physics.

It represents the electric discharges that occur within clouds (symbolizing the art world), between clouds (indicative of interdisciplinary collaboration), and from clouds to the earth (bridging art with popular culture), epitomizing the flow of communication, cooperative synergy, and the dynamic exchange of energy.

• As a non-profit art institution, Raiden INST explores art, technology, and nature intersections. It examines technology’s relationship with human perception through interdisciplinary collaborations in media experiments, artistic creation, and cultural studies. It also seeks to extend exhibition possibilities beyond traditional spaces, functioning flexibly as curators and artists.
• Raiden INST is dedicated to supporting emerging artists, providing a platform that focuses on social contexts of the real-world. It spearheads initiatives such as the Emerging Sci-tech Artist Awards and curates tech-art exhibitions in diverse spaces, ranging from museums to the metaverse. Adapting to the evolving art landscape, it consistently enhances its strategies and collaborates internationally to launch fresh projects and exhibitions.
