Kora Research Center is an organization established in 2018 to support the intertwined development and research of art and technology.
Dedicated to fostering creativity and innovation, Kora Research Center aims to support artists and technologists through research, collaboration, and learning. Our mission is to explore and develop new ideas in the fields of art and technology, with the goal of creating meaningful and impactful work that enriches the world around us. We encourage community collaborations in the creation of new work, exploration of ideas, and continued learning.
We have a particular focus on introducing new people to the world of technology through creative and artistic projects, thereby making tech more appealing compared to traditional methods like building applications. By blending technology with creativity, we offer unique opportunities for aspiring technologists to explore their interests and talents in this ever-evolving field.
We view technology not just as tools or systems, but as a canvas for creativity and innovation. Learning to navigate the tech world, we believe, goes beyond acquiring a specific skill set; it's about cultivating a mindset that values exploration and creativity. We assert that technology, along with the resources to understand and harness it, should be universally accessible. This accessibility enables every individual to explore, create, and innovate without barriers.
At Kora, we are committed to supporting those who have been marginalized by technology, providing them with the time, space, and resources needed for continued self-determination. We invite budding technologists, industry professionals, and companies interested in fostering innovation to join us. We value openness, ingenuity, and believe in the power of diversity and inclusion in both tech and creative fields. Achieving this vision requires creating a safe and open community for experimentation.
