About Raiden INST
Raiden INST was founded in 2020. The name "Raiden" (same as thunder) refers to the symbolic meaning of its physical principle --"Raiden" is an electrical discharge phenomenon between clouds (within the art world), clouds to clouds (interdisciplinary), or clouds to earth (art and public culture). This discharge also symbolizes communication, collaboration, and energy transformation.
Raiden INST explores the boundaries of art, sci-tech, nature, and their intrinsic connection to humans through interdisciplinary collaboration. It is also dedicated to practicing display possibilities outside the white box, as a curator, artist, and other identities, with strong flexibility and cooperativity.
Raiden INST hopes to provide a platform for incubating, exhibiting, and spreading young artists' practices based on reality and social context. Therefore, it has organized the "Emerging Sci-tech Artist Awards" and a Sci-tech exhibition Do Not Black Out. Rooted in the changes in contemporary art ecology, Raiden INST will continue to optimize its own mechanisms and link up with domestic and international institutions in order to present new projects and exhibitions.
