Open Circuit Busan

<Open Circuit Busan: Art & Tech Practice> is a program where artists learn to build technology-based art through vibe coding and make a work of their own.

With vibe coding, LLM orchestration, and MCP, even unfamiliar technology becomes quick to learn and use. Less time wrestling with tools leaves more time to think about what to make and why.
