At the G-Artience 2024 Connecting Week held on December 2, 2024, at the Daejeon Convention Center (DCC), Director Jang Soon-chul of Emotionwave Co., Ltd. emphasized that the convergence of technology and art is expanding the boundaries of creation and opening new possibilities for emotional connection, introducing the innovative vision and global journey led by Emotionwave.
The G-Artience 2024 Connecting Week was a global event hosted by the G-Artience Organizing Committee and KAIST, and sponsored by various organizations including the Korea Tourism Organization, WipNews, and WipSquare. Under the theme of 'Global Tech Art Revolution: Convergence of Science and Technology with Art,' approximately 2,000 people attended, including scientists, cultural artists, and industry experts.
During this event, Director Jang presented the achievements and application cases of platforms developed by Emotionwave, such as the RIMA AI engine and MUTA Bandmaster, focusing on AI, robotics, extended reality (XR), and immersive technologies. He explained that these platforms maximize the role of technology in the creative process, opening new possibilities for creation and emotional transmission in digital spaces, exemplified by AIMPLE's virtual artist 'ROA'.
In particular, the AI orchestra and robot performers introduced in the presentation provided an immersive creative experience to the audience through real-time interactive performances, emphasizing that extended reality technology is redefining the role of art by transforming the audience from passive participants into active creators.
Separately, an official from Emotionwave revealed that through major overseas expansion activities in 2024, they have established a global distribution lineup and R&D partnership pipeline worth approximately 10 billion KRW. Based on these achievements, Emotionwave plans to expand its emotion-based artificial intelligence technology starting in 2025 from the existing media entertainment field to the healthcare and deep tech R&D fields, where there is high global demand.
CEO Jang presented his future vision, stating that "the convergence of technology and art is a powerful tool that can enrich human experience and contribute to building a sustainable future. Emotionwave will strive to further spread emotion-centric AI technology."
