As the sound art field is keep growing and expanding, we shall contemplate from the sociology of the arts and cognitive science point of views to wisely accept and properly appreciate various artistic works and practices. It is because the value evaluation of new arts shall substantially involve analysis and inspections with considerations of today's complex environments, the creative productions, and the consumptions; because, such critiques are necessity for the advancement of new arts. This paper briefly introduces reasoning of including sociological analysis and criticism in evaluating sound arts beyond dichotomy of the fine arts and music fields. It also looks into changes and conditions of cultural arts grants and allowances of the interdisciplinary art genre in South Korea as it has been almost alone a playground for its domestic creative practices of the sound art. This paper is written in a hope to suggest some possible directions for future developments of these contemporary borderless and/or experimental arts.

Clustering is a method that collects data objects into groups based on their similary. Performance of the state-of-the-art clustering methods is different according to the data characteristics. There have been numerous studies that performed experiments to compare the accuracy of the state-of-the-art clustering methods by applying various kinds of datasets. A common problem of these studies is that they only consider clustering algorithms that yield the most accurate results for a particular dataset. They do not consider what factors affect the execution time of each clustering method and how they are affected. Nevertheless, execution time is an important factor in clustering performance if there is no significant difference in accuracy. In order to solve the problems of the existing research, through a series of experiments using various types of datasets, we compare the accuracy of four representative clustering methods. In addition, we perform practical clustering performance comparisons by deriving time complexity and identifying factors that influences to its performance.

This study represents "an artialization of fashion" that may be regarded similar to art with a focus on luxury fashion brands. In the $20^{th}$ century, fashion began to share a similar language with art and became a central part in popularizing art. Fashion and art were drawn to each other in mutual fascination. Fashion studies arouse from disciplines like anthropology, sociology and art history as well as from aesthetic experiences and commercial characteristics. Fashion is very complicated phenomenon; therefore, a study on the artialization of luxury fashion brands needs to be approached for aesthetic and commercial aspects simultaneously. This study combines a literary survey with a case analysis of the relation of fashion and art as well as inquires on the artialization of luxury fashion brands based on discourses. The discourses are: first, fashion is an art, second, fashion and art differ in relation to the intention, third, fashion and art have mutual-borrowing. In view of the results achieved in this study, luxury fashion brands can achieve increased effectiveness through art. This study reveals the effects that luxury brands achieve through art versus a discussion on if fashion is art or not and if the relationship is moral or not.

This paper surveys the state-of-the-art in korean commercial Internet of Things(IoT) services for deriving the core elements of a curriculum for major courses of IoT using RaspberryPi3. First, we survey the state-of-the-art of IoT researches and commercial services in three korean major telecommunication corporations such as Korean Telecommunications (KT), LGU+ Telecommunication (LGT), and SK Telecommunication(SKT). Second, we consider the components and advantages of the RaspberryPi3 which is popular as a representative educational tool. Concludingly, this paper derives the core elements of curriculum for major courses of IoT using RaspberryPi3 from above both processes. The corresponding elements consist of platforms, hardwares, softwares, and big-data network. Based on the important design elements of the IoT curriculum using Raspberry Pie 3, we taught embedded system course to junior students for one semester. It was successfully completed and more than 90% students were satisfied with its contents and amounts.

The study was to improve the right to the enjoyment of culture of persons with visual impairment by increasing the accessibility to art exhibitions and exploring assistive measures through needs assessment survey of persons with visual impairment on arts exhibition. We used total 83 responses collected through an online survey. The result are as follows. First, watching movies at a teather was the most frequent leisure activity among persons with visual impairment, while respondents reported attending art exhibitions as the least frequent activity. Yet, 71.1% included attending art exhibitions as one of their top 5 culture and leisure activities. Most of the respondents reported the purpose of attending art exhibitions as fun. However, a primarily visual atmosphere prevented them from visiting the exhibition. Second, persons with visual impairment preferred approaching the art to have a closer look. More than about 50% of the respondents used their residual vision. Most of the respondents reported to use more than two senses when appreciating the exhibits. Moreover, respondents reported that devices/services for multi-sensory experiences would be helpful to appreciate the art. The findings imply that the consideration of the characteristics and needs of persons with visual impairment is required for establishing the environment of art exhibitions. This could further contribute to the improvement of the right to the enjoyment of leisure and culture of persons with visual impairment and lead to the realization of social integration.

NFT art is a new art formed based on NFT technology. This is attracting great attention in the existing art world and art market. Therefore, it is required to analyze whether NFT art can establish itself as a new area of art. Therefore, the formation and development process of NFT art is analyzed from the perspective of Actor-Network Theory of Science and Technology and Studies, and the case of NFT artist 'beeple' is a representative example. It also discusses the artistic value of NFT art and its relationship with traditional art networks based on the aesthetics of science and technology researcher Graham Harman. In particular, it analyzes the future and genre sustainability of NFT art through the case of NFT project "Cryptopunks" and "PUNKISM" advocating a new art genre. By analyzing NFT art with ANT, I would like to raise a technical, aesthetic, and philosophical questions and propose a positive prospect as a new art genre.

This study explains how Cultural-art organizations contribute to development of cultural diversity at this time of paradigme of cultural diversity. The object in this study 'Garam' which is a cultural art organization is comprised of people from multicultural families. The organization has been continued in unwanted environment. The very fact that this organization, as a group of people of multicultural background, has maintained its influence for a while indicates the possibility for the settlement of cultural diversity as a new paradigm. This research has proven that how various cultures can co-exist with korean culture through couple of methods. One is doing interviews with people who are involved in such field. And the other one is monitoring specific process or steps of how is the organization that deals with cultural and artistic subjects founded, operated and works. Accordingly, based on the operational factors and executive matters of the organization, the role of this multicultural theatre group was confirmed. This study's explication about the possibility of development of cultural diversity focuses on field activities with the recognition of limited effectiveness of institutionalized associations. Also, it analyses how realistically cultural art organization contribute to development of cultural divetsity, and what factors hinder the development.

The Reed-Muller code is one of the efficient algorithms for multiple bit error correction, however, its high-computation requirement inherent in the decoding process prohibits its use in practical applications. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a graphics processing unit (GPU)-based parallel error control approach using Reed-Muller R(r, m) coding for real-time wireless communication systems. GPU offers a high-throughput parallel computing platform that can achieve the desired high-performance decoding by exploiting massive parallelism inherent in the algorithm. In addition, we compare the performance of the GPU-based approach with the equivalent sequential approach that runs on the traditional CPU. The experimental results indicate that the proposed GPU-based approach exceedingly outperforms the sequential approach in terms of execution time, yielding over 70× speedup.

This paper studies how marriage migrants are being depicted in Korean Cinema. In the recent years, the foreign population in South Korea has been increasing and so has done the presence of migrant minorities in media, including cinema. This study discusses that korean cinema shows dominant ideologies of power in Korean society where marriage migrants are located at the bottom. Five films were analyzed and from this analysis five frames were extracted. Marriage migrants are frequently depicted as subordinated or powerless, they are usually women in the role of wives, mothers, and daughters-in-law, they are treated as ethnic others, sexualized others or commodities. Consequently, their relationships with Korean nationals are formed by power relations. Moreover, Korean national who do establish some sort of intimate relationship with the marriage migrants are represented as people in the margins of Korean society. In this way, it is reinforced the social position of marriage migrants as outsiders in the Korean society.
