About Raiden INST

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.

Insight Mapping

This time, we aim not to observe people, but to explore the nature of media.

This is a site focused on the discussion of “media work”. As a non-profit curatorial institution dedicated to the techno-artistic ecosystem, our perspective often centres on zooming in and out of our areas of research. Narrowing our focus ensured a close examination of the synchronous relationships between the development of technology, industry and new media, meanwhile the workflow of each type of creator is observed by broadening the scope.

“Insight Mapping: Spatial Media Ecology” is a multifaceted, distributed, and composite project that invites six groups of artists, all of whom have collaborated with Raiden INST extensively, to present their research trajectories and methodologies regarding different spatial media.

The project explores various themes, including the interaction between humans and simulated environments, image technology and spatial computing, screens as visualization media, the archaeology and new practices of retro media, and digital objects that bridge the physical and virtual realms. Each work and the related practice will be interconnected through the exhibition space’s “Central Factory Hub,” which acts as a nexus, aggregating and disseminating diverse information like a logistics sorting facility. As artists enrich their creations and practices in response to technological iterations, industrial advancements, and interdisciplinary demands, they connect with industry, technology, and their ecosystem through various media such as machinery, digital objects, code, avatars, and cyber cities.
