Telepathy And Landscapes
July 2018
Readymade Objects
Group Exhibition Zeitgeist at the Institut Für Alles Mögliche in Berlin
Close-to-perfect orientation and curatorship at the exhibitions in Germany was my great inspiration during the study trip for Dada. Using readymade objects, I created a series of artworks that function as decorative containers for the gifts I bought for my friends and family.
2018 - 2019
Archival project to explore the beauty of Korea
The ongoing archives of Telepathy And Landscapes (TAL) currently include visual and sound documentation of performances, conversations, objects and field researches.
Since 2018, I became very interested in the origin of my cultural background to research the context of my superego after having traveled around the Europe in summer. I have grown up mostly in a western environment as my parents sent me to a private Christian elementary school in Korea, and I moved alone to Canada at my age 14. Although I never had a good
chance to deeply inquire about my national identity, I always knew by heart that my conscience was deeply rooted in the culture of Korea.
When I came to visit home during the vacations, I had field trips to historic places to trace down my national identity and made a series of collaborative projects to explore the visual aesthetic and philosophy of Korea. In 2019, my friends and I formed an anonymous performance group named TAL (Telepathy And Landscapes), meaning mask in Korean (referring to Hahoe Mask). The purpose of this collective movement is to understand our origin in-depth by researching, performing, and making civic scale art to raise awareness to appreciate the intrinsic value of Korean folk rituals, shamanism, architecture, and natural landscapes.

Activator is an interactive sound/light sculpture which finds the proximity of the audience, then instantly activates the multiple of chain reactions to communicate with the Pendulum. A pair of contact transducers vibrate and resonate the modified sound of wave inside the Activator. Carefully tuned to avoid any feedback, the sound is again picked up by a pair of contact microphones, then distorted and amplified to resonate back inside by the two speakers. The LED light, converged by the 60 degree reflector, illuminates the Pendulum which instantly responds to initiate its programmed performance.

Loop Play
Inspired by the form of seashell that naturally produces the rushing sound caused by resonating the surrounding noise, I used an empty lamp and speaker to create a resonating object to experiment various effects by different size of cavity.
The wave sound was recorded last summer in Jeju Island in Korea for the exhibition, On the Horizon. I continued to develop this recorded sound through the entire project.

Red Cedar, Projector, and Laptop
Majority of the structure of Activator was already designed and made during the Pendulum Project in 2017. Using projector was an alternative way to experiment the operation of the pendulum. The high profile of the projector was not the ideal orientation for simplicity in the aesthetic and function.
The structure of Activator was taken from the roof of the Pendulum to emphasize the unity of two sculptures
