Breathing Machines: Movement Studies in the Posthuman Era
2024Korea National Contemporary Dance Company, Dance x Technology Creative Lab
In collaboration with choreographer Jaeyoung Lee and performance curator Jisun Park, this project experimented with transforming breath into a mechanical interface. By collecting and analyzing acoustic and kinematic data from various breathing patterns, we developed a device capable of generating synthesized breath sounds in real-time.
The work explores the blurring boundaries between organism and machine by datafying and mechanically reproducing breathing—life's most fundamental activity.

CONSTRUCTED EVENTS
2024Forking Room Research Group
Contributed to a research journal examining image production and authenticity in the generative AI era. This research traces the historical genealogy of manipulated images while analyzing how AI-generated images affect collective memory and perception of reality.
The study particularly illuminates how the scaling of large language models extends beyond mere technological advancement, becoming entangled with labor exploitation, data colonialism, and ethical concerns. It reexamines the relationship between 'event' and 'record' in an era where images no longer serve as evidence of reality but as elements that constitute reality itself.
