Jeanyoon is a Korean Computational Artist based in London and Seoul. He comes is originally from an Industrial Engineering background, where his experiences in the tech sector influenced a lot of his practices and research. His works were exhibited and performed at Seoul Arts Centre, Iklectik London, Centre Pompidou, and Sogang University.
As a web-based artist, his main practice is based on creating Multi-Device Web Artwork (MDWA), which employs various devices that communicate with each other through the internet, expanding the concept of virtualness into reality and into embedded reality, creating a sense of physicalness from the screens.
MDWA requires the active participation of spectators, which is the reason Jeanyoon is interested in Behaviour Aesthetics, a concept parallel to Behaviour Economics within the Artistic context, which assumes the limited interest, knowledge, and time of spectators, and thus studies how to induce active engagements from such a disinterested state.
MDWA(Multi-Device Web Artwork)
Interactive web-based artworks consisting of multiple screens, PCs, and participants’ mobiles, where any interaction or transition information is shared across the artwork through the web-based two-way communication, creating a distinct interactive experience distinguishable from other digital mediums.
Behaviour Aesthetics
Parallel to Behaviour Economics within the Economical context, assumes imperfect spectators with limited knowledge and attention span to devote to a single artwork and investigates how to invite these participants to actively participate with the artwork.
