Osmotic Opening April 17, 5:00 - 8:00 PM THE BLANC, 15 East 40th St, New York, NY 10016 Presence is no longer self-evident. In an age where digital identity accumulates in parallel to, and often inseparable from, the bodies we inhabit, the question of what counts as being here has become increasingly tentative. This exhibition brings together fourteen artists whose practices interrogate the osmotic boundary between the physical and the digital self. Through installation, sound, and interactive media, their works trace the artifacts of lived experience that escape our attention: the vibrations that move through us unnoticed and the data that outlasts the moment that generated it. Drawing on embodied cognition and archival theory, the works assembled here propose that presence is never singular. It is accumulated, layered, and already in excess of itself.

내 안의 또 다른 나: 자아 실험실 <26.1.11, National Science Museum of Korea> I had the honor of leading my first AR filter workshop at @nsmscience , as part of the <Lab From New York> exhibition. After a brief introduction to social media filters and augmented reality, participants designed their own filters on Canva and brought their creations to life through TikTok Effect House. My goal for the workshop was to encourage participants to explore new mediums of self-expression beyond physical reality, and to explore the concept of persona and its interplay with identity. This was definitely a learning experience, but I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity and for everyone who participated. I hope the workshop created space for playful experimentation and marks the beginning of more to come! 📸: @jennwchoi

LOVE ME, 2025 Acrylic, Polycarbonate film, Fishbowl, Microcontroller, LED Display, Keypad, Unreal Engine, Digital Avatar LOVE ME is an interactive installation that embodies the internet-born modern tragedy of the loneliness epidemic. It explores how digital validation transforms identity into performance, eroding authenticity within endless algorithmic feedback loops. Existing between the physical and the virtual, the work reveals the paradox of intimacy and isolation that defines our pursuit of connection. LOVE ME는 SNS 문화에서 비롯된 현대적 고독의 비극을 형상화한 인터랙티브 설치 작품이다. 이 작품은 디지털 상의 인정 욕구가 어떻게 정체성을 하나의 퍼포먼스로 변형시키며, 끝없는 알고리즘의 피드백 루프 속에서 우리의 진정성을 어떻게 소모시키는지를 탐구한다. 물리적 세계와 가상 세계의 경계에 위치한 이 작품은 우리가 관계를 갈망하는 과정 속에서 드러나는 친밀함과 고립의 모순적 양면을 드러낸다. — Started off the new year with an incredible opportunity to participate in the <Lab From New York> exhibition at the National Science Museum of Korea @nsmscience (1/6–1/11). Thank you to my colleagues and to everyone who made this experience possible!

<뉴욕에서 온 실험실> 2026.01.06. - 2026.01.12. (월요일 휴관) 국립중앙과학관 창의나래관 특별전시실 변화하는 기술, 변화하는 관계, 현대 사회에서 첨단 기술은 이미 개인의 일상과 깊숙히 얽혀 있다. 첨단 기술은 우리가 맺는 관계의 본질을 확장하고 변화시킨다. 스마트 기기를 통한 즉각적 데이터 수집에서 인공지능을 이용한 노동에 이르기까지, 기술은 개인·사회·자연 사이의 새로운 접점을 만들어내고 전에 없었던 새로운 관계를 형성한다. <뉴욕에서 온 실험실> 은 뉴욕대학교 티쉬예술대학의 인터랙티브 아트 프로그램(Interactive Telecommunications Program) 에서 모인 7명의 작가가 첨단 기술을 매개로 형성되는 새로운 관계의 양상을 탐구한 결과물이다. 각 작품은 첨단 기술 시대가 열어놓은 사회에 기술을 둘러싼 긴장과 불안, 동시에 새로운 가능성과 상상력을 비춘다. 관객은 이 과정을 통해 기술이 매개하는 우리의 연결이 어떤 형태로 변모할 수 있는지를 성찰한다. 관객은 이 전시를 통해 기술이 매개하는 우리의 관계가 어떻게 작동하고, 앞으로 어떤 모습으로 확장될 수 있는지를 다시 바라보게 될 것이다. 여기의 실험들은 단순한 미래 예측이 아니라, 이미 우리 곁에서 조용히 진행 중인 변화들에 대한 감각적 기록이자 질문이다.

It redefines the relationships that we create – spanning from the constant stream of data collection that we serve, to labor performed by machines – technology casts new perspectives on the relationship between individuals, society and the environment. < Laboratory from New York >, an exhibition curated and presented by artists participating in the Interactive Telecommunications Program(ITP) of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, is their take on new relationships fostered by the development of novel technology. Through each piece the artist presents creative scenarios that new technologies open doors to; the audience gets a sneak peek into the world that could be. Through this exhibition, the audience gains a fresh perspective on how our relationships amongst one another and with the world can take new shapes and forms with the progression of technology. The experiments posed in these series of works are not merely a prediction of the future, but a close examination and questioning of the seismic changes that are taking place right before our eyes.

<Veinsight> In moments of connection, attraction, or vulnerability, our pulse quickens before our conscious mind processes these feelings. This wearable piece explores the metaphor of “wearing your heart on your sleeve”, reimagining it through technology as a tangible manifestation of internal states. - Collaborators: @wvwilliam_x & @odd.i.e Photography: @jessiehaseyes Model: @yahleh #wearable #wearableart #wearabletech #jewelry #physicalcomputing

This is not an end, but an evolution. <Welcome to My Funeral> is a memorial for the death of a singular, fixed identity and a radical celebration of our fluid, fragmented existence. It embraces multiplicity as a form of liberation of the self, and a reclamation of autonomy in the age of fluid identities. A mourning. A rebirth. Not an ending, but a beginning. - special thank you to @anodromedan and @jessmakes.jpg for making this project possible, and to @blankensmithing and @exsstas for the tutorials that made diving into TouchDesigner so exciting. Can't wait to keep experimenting with @touchdesigner ! #immersiveart #artinstallation #newmediaart #interactiveinstallation #cyberfeminism #digitalidentity #posthuman

“she wears a subtle, melancholic sadness” - AI-generated images of my archived posts, created in response to @madebymots ’ video installation ‘AI & Me’, which I got to experience at the 2025 Tribeca Immersive Program. The machine had read me as “young Asian woman sad face” In an age where selfhood is increasingly constructed and easily distorted online, I became fascinated by how the AI had interpreted me. This project reflects on the performative and curatorial nature of social media and unveils the ‘self’ as seen through the machine’s gaze. Revisiting my old posts through its lens became a way of facing myself from the outside, through the eyes of the algorithm. - These images were created as part of my final project for @molly__soda ’s class, ‘Performing Online’.

💖 Wear your heartbeat on your sleeve this Valentines Day 💖 “Veinsight” consists of a ring and cuff that transform the wearer's heartbeat into a visual rhythm of pulsing LED lights. By making the heartbeat visible, this piece creates an intimate dialogue between the wearer's internal state and the external world. The synchronized LED lights serve as a bridge between the private and public self, encouraging a reflection on emotional vulnerability and the ways we choose to reveal or conceal our true feelings in relationships. “Veinsight” was created by ITP students Jin @odd.i.e and Will @wvwilliam_x for their physical computing final project.
