Suk Kyoung Choi
Suk Kyoung Choi is a Korean artist, writer, and researcher currently working in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. She obtained her PhD from the School of Interactive Arts and Technology at Simon Fraser University, as a member of PI Dr. Steve DiPaola’s iViz lab. Choi’s research examines conceptual metaphor in artistic praxis to study the nature of embodied transformation between experience and knowledge. Suk Kyoung explores the phenomenology of AI mediated painting praxis to extend knowledge of human factors informing the development of collaborative artificially intelligent creativity support technologies. Artistic painting offers access to transitional states situated between expression and reflection, the interstitial origin of tacit knowledge. It is the translation of this knowledge embodied in artistic practice and expressed through creative inquiry that she identifies as essential to affective intermedia. Her guiding research questions are therefore motivated by such critical issues as computational access to the pre-conceptual image, what dynamic factors and schema give rise to expressive acts, and how these questions inform learning strategies in an increasingly algorithmic culture. A central motivation is the reconciliation of human acts and planetary environment in the late Anthropocene.
Her artwork has been shown in Seoul, London, Calgary, Chicago, Vancouver, and Munich.
