A stranger at night tells a woman that she is easy to find. The Neighbour is her mysterious filmic journey to trick the machine gaze using AI to remember and track people through walking patterns, dancing between dream, machine vision, and choreography. Can we gesture collectively to become a system glitch?

In this theatrical experiment, the three artists explore the tension between subjective experience and external classification revolving around the concept of falling. Through surveillance, machine learning tracking movements of bodies, and collective decision-making, the work seeks to expose the power dynamics at play when bodies are categorised, interpreted, and controlled. The experiment invites the audience to observe, judge, and intervene in the movement of an individual engaged in the simple yet provocative act of falling.

In this research, we explore the possibilities of this seemingly unreachable North Korea by viewing through the prisms of stateless waste, ocean currents, virtuality, and technology travelling across the metaphorical and literal oceanic space. Contained within South Korea’s geopolitical borders, this practice thrives—melding the material and immaterial—its pursuit of the exclusive domain of its citizens. And just as the ocean’s currents and virtual movements are in constant flux, this narrative defies definitive culmination.

antasia Realism is an audio-visual live performance experimenting with surrealistic experiences through the use of Artificial Intelligence. Drawing on the methodology of early 20th-century surrealist artists who used non-linear narratives as a way to explore pure unconsciousness, the artists used AI to develop the script of the performance using reality-based input words.

This project is based on the poetry of Lee Sang (이상, 1910-1937), a Korean avant-garde literary writer, and a Dutch poet Paul van Ostaijen(1896-1928). The text data extracted based on specific information in the poetry is converted into image data and then back into sound, by the Korean artist Soyun Park and the Dutch artist Vera van de Seyp in collaboration with A.I. It is a multidisciplinary art project in which literature (text), music (sound), and art (image) are reconstructed through generation and artificial intelligence. This project aims to create a duet of harmony that transcends countries and generations with technology.

A Collective Booklet for Computational Women is an open document project on google sheets to share stories of women with their machines. ⁣ ⁣Any women can create their own sheet to share their photos and the stories they hold about their computers. It is created to protest against the stereotype and to empower our passion towards technology.

Perspectives happens in an immersive performance space. By integrating large-scale multimedia installations and newly developed instruments, the audience is guided through an interactive exploration of sound objects and immersive video projection, and encouraged to individually explore the performance. In order to examine this relationship, various interactive sound sculptures, instruments and musical robots have been developed. These sculptures are arranged in an urban-like fashion, with the installation seamlessly integrating both the audience, the robots and the performers. With a total run-time of approximately one hour, Perspectives consists of six movements; each exhibiting a distinct relationship between matter and observers. The cognitive characteristics are examined through the following themes: Us as objects, Us around objects, Us inside objects, Objects inside us, Objects around us, Objects as us Along the team I'm doing visuals and stage design in this project.
