Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This paper introduces two artworks related to an innovative Pro bono activity, called October Sky. October Sky is a voluntary lecture series for youth in the segregated situation in Korea. It stemmed from three lines of Twitter messages, and became an annual event by hundreds of volunteers. In parallel with October Sky, two art exhibitions reflect new ways of community making as well as boost the spirit of open participation. The artworks illustrates how the loosely-networked community who shared the social faith could organize themselves and co-work together relied on ad-hoc social media communication.
