Artist Statement
I’m an artist from Seoul, Korea. I am interested in creating tangible physical objects that are interactive because if a viewer participates in the artwork, or the viewer becomes an element of the work that complete the art piece, that piece will irreproducible. In other words, all processes for creating the artwork cannot be the same thing for the art piece, for the artist, and for participants.
Personally, art is communications with the world. I would like to communicate with all creations such as groups of people, objects, or phenomena.
Marcel Duchamp, a very earlier interactive artist, says that viewers complete the work of art. In some ways, Duchamp’s dictum implies that there is no art in this arena without the public. I agree with his concept about the relationship between interactivity and art. Also, Jeff Melvoin, who is a current TV producer, says that when people talk about art, they talk about the result of art but art can be a process it-self. He emphasizes the importance of the process of creating art pieces. I consider the viewer’s participation to be a sort of process.
My previous work is about consumerism. It was an interactive installation using Isadora. If a viewer comes into the booth which a PDP screen is installed in, the 30-second film about over consumes and superimposes the viewer’s image onto the film that I already made. By superimposing the copied viewer’s image, participants will get a sense of shopping saturation.
