Pavilion Design, 3D Modeling and Rendering @ StudioKCA, 2015
The Orbit Pavilion comes from the desire to capture the soundscape of the 19 NASA satellites that monitor the earth. Shaped like a massive nautilus shell, the pavilion is made from 3,500 sq. ft. of aluminum panels, with 100 “orbital paths” waterjet cut into their surface, and curved around an aluminum pipe framework. The shell culminates in an oculus at the center of an inner chamber, wired with 30 speakers, each linked to the location of a NASA Satellite in space. Visitors can enter into this chamber and immerse themselves in the simulated sounds of the satellites, in real time, as they orbit around the earth.

Museum Design | SpaceGroup, Korea, 2007
The Yeongwol Cave Eco-Museum is the first display facility of Korea designed and planned to effectively convey information of various cave experts to visitors. It has two underground floor and is a one story building with a total floor space of 1,594㎡ and is equipped with a display hall, cave research center and a conference room. The different floors are separated into 5 areas and are composed of 14 different themed spaces.
- B1: Display on the exploration team to learn the equipment and how to wear it for cave exploration, and display for observing how today’s caves were made.
– B2: Bats, which are flying mammals, and other cave life can be viewed through videos and samples in the 2nd display hall and at the 3rd display hall, visitors can see actual cave life and the undisclosed sector of the Gossi Cave.

Light and sound installation | individual project | Zandari Gallery, Korea, 2011
YOUR MONOLOGUE is a light-sound installation based on research contents about patterns of emotional labor. In the piece, a participant walks to gradually enter the space with the high intensity by catching up with the voice that comes from the inside. In front of the blind corner, he listens to the voice of monologue clearly in the light of covering the body tightly before he knows. At this time, a viewer comes to realize own image, which had imposed the excessive duty of emotion as for own feeling while listening to the monologue, which speaks of anxiety and tension in a situation with close friend.

Interactive navigation | openFrameworks, Kinect motion detection
presented at Spatial Media @ ITP NYU, 2014
InDirection starts from the idea that a sidewalk could be a powerful and social canvas which tells us stories. As with Brooklyn, a site for this interactive navigation - the cross of Bogart street & Seigel street is growing, evolving and mutating area in a cultural context. The goal of interactive navigation project is to use its sidewalk to tighten up the environment informing people on the neighborhood they are walking in and ultimately create a virtuous circle of cultural community.

Arduino, Bone conduction transducer, LED lighting, 3d printing | Long Island City Community Garden, NY June 2014
Night Beats is an audio-visual installation, intended to explore how individuals interact with particular natural environment. It makes the subject feel the breath of a natural object and tighter connection with other kinds of living things.
The installation consists of small luminous globes string throughout a tree and electronically connected to a glowing heart-shaped device hanging from a single branch. A small stool enables visitors to interact with the heart directly by hearing its beat. When a visitor presses it against his/her ear bone, the embedded bone conduction transducer vibrates and transmits heartbeat sounds to his/her head.
As the globes pulsate in consonance with this beat, visitors come to have their own immersive experience surrounded by beating lights and nature in the place, hearing the delicate heartbeat sounds of the tree.
As visitors put their ear on 3D printed heart-shape device, they come to hear the heartbeat sounds of the tree through their ear bone and have immersive experience surrounded by personalized acoustic and visual setup for a moment.

FLOWER is composed of 23 light boxes. When you hold a box, it comes to shine. In this work, each box represents a small part of flower. Even if you want to complete the flower, you can’t do that. This is because if you put it on the assemble or try to make a complete structure, the light would go out.
This work is motivated by “Flower”, a poem given above. This poem describes a relation between the certain action and meaning of objects. According to the poem, this work means that a piece of flower only has a meaning in your hands. What I want to express through this project is my concern about incomplete structures and simple example of a user interaction.
Site-specific Installation | Kyungi Forest Garden, Korea, 2010
We, the citizens of a modern city, often find ourselves making extra effort to go outside of the city to find the beauty of the nature. The installation site was a botanical garden in the outskirt of Seoul, which was a perfect manifestation of such effort. How unnatural is it to seek the beauty of nature through a man-made arboretum? Therefore, we tried to bring the attention back to where we belong, the city. Under the bridge, the symbol of artificial architecture and civilized society, existed unexpected reality. Our intention was to promote surrealistic beauty in a place we generally neglected to acknowledge.
