Hyunji Jung

digital technology - sound - installation - interactive

Hyunji Jung (b.1991) is a South Korean multimedia artist, composer based in Rotterdam. After finishing Bachelor's degree in English Literature and Language in Korea, she came to the Netherlands to study fine art at the Willem de Kooning Academy where her interests in narrative and language were translated into sound, which became the main cartographic tool in her practice. She perceives art and music as languages ​​to explore herself and surrounding. She explores compositional process and form of composition embracing the the influence of technology on them. She records, synthesises, manipulates various sounding matters and arrange them to create an interactive listening environment. Her work results in ambient, experimental soundscapes in a form of an interactive sound installation, or combined with an audiovisual, virtual experience that create an immersive experience featuring mystical, ritualistic elements. She intends to place audiences in a nomadic perspective triggering sonic memory and aural imagination.
