SIDE CORE, CCBT’s Artist Fellow in 2022, will present their work at the Seoul Arts & Tech Festival “Unfold X,” held in Seoul, Korea.
In FY2025, CCBT is strengthening its collaboration with the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture. Seoul, a city that has rapidly expanded its presence internationally through pioneering interdisciplinary practices at the intersection of art and technology, hosts the annual Seoul Arts & Tech Festival “Unfold X” under the theme “arts that inspire technology.”
This year, coinciding with CCBT’s renewal opening, the artist collective SIDE CORE will exhibit rode work ver. under city, a work developed through their 2022 CCBT Artist Fellowship, at Unfold X. In addition, the festival’s Artistic Director will join the opening talk at CCBT.
Through these initiatives, CCBT aims to foster collaboration among artists and cultural practitioners from diverse backgrounds and to encourage exchanges with participants—exploring new forms of co-creation that transcend cities, generations, and cultures.

SIDE CORE
Featuring Takasu Sakie, Matsushita Tohru, and Nishihiro Taishi, SIDE CORE launched in 2012. Harimoto Kazunori also participates in the collective as a video director. SIDE CORE create works based on the question of how an individual can go about sending messages in the city and public space, by referencing the ideas and history behind street culture. They sometimes collaborate with artists working in other genres to create a variety of works in the blind spots and interstices of the city. Recent major exhibitions include “Living road, Living space” (21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, 2025), “SIDE CORE｜Concrete Planet” (WATARI-UM, The Watari Museum of Contemporary Art and outdoor, Tokyo, 2024), “Hyakunengo Art Festival” (Chiba, 2024), “8th Yokohama Triennale “Wild Grass: Our Lives”” (Yokohama, 2024).
