Meet the Motion Design Winners Lighting Up Seoul
The 2024 Motion Design Winners from the AI Design Awards are now lighting up the screens at Urban Break 2025 — Korea’s largest and most influential art festival. As part of the AI Artist Awards (AIAA), this collaboration marks a major step in bringing global AI-powered creativity to new audiences.
The AI Design Awards is the world’s first and most comprehensive international competition dedicated to creativity powered by artificial intelligence. Launched in 2024, it celebrates groundbreaking work across image, motion, fashion, and experimental categories, among many others. With a jury that includes creative leaders in AI from all over the world, from Coca-Cola Europe, The Clueless Agency (creators of Aitana), Freepik, and Dead End Gallery, the platform connects emerging talent with industry pioneers and creative institutions everywhere.
Urban Break is known for breaking the mold of traditional art fairs, it turns visual art into immersive storytelling, inviting audiences to experience work across every sense. As the festival redefines how art is presented and experienced, this partnership with the AI Design Awards is a natural fit.
For the first time, a curated video program featuring nine winning works from the 2024 AI Design Awards Motion category is being screened at the AIAA venue inside Urban Break. From poetic digital films to futuristic branded shorts, AI-generated music videos and experimental animations, these pieces represent the global edge of AI-generated visual storytelling:
- Jiwon Han, Wansik Yun – The Bound
- Jhon Salcedo @jhonbio – MAE MUSIC SESSION – MANIFEST
- Native / @luceo.non.uro – MYSTIC HAVEN

In the words of Jay Jeon, Senior Curator at Urban Break Lab:
“Even amid the rapid development of technology, creativity remains a human-centered realm. Urban Break, AIAA, and AI Design Awards respect the world of AI creators who express themselves through new tools and emotions. We expect this collaboration to expand the horizons of art, and it will be recognized as a stage where global AI artists gather.”
Following its debut exhibition in Barcelona earlier this year, the AI Design Awards continues to grow into a global platform for artistic expression at the intersection of technology and storytelling. This showcase in Seoul not only connects continents, but reaffirms the power of AI to unlock emotion, identity, and innovation across cultures.
