Soyun Park is an interdisciplinary artist, designer and educator from South Korea living in The Hague. She is interested in the relationships between technology and humans, from the individual level such as physical movement and relationships to the social level, architecture and politics.
Often in collaboration, her work takes the shape of films, installations, and audiovisual performances. By making use of new media and technology, her work investigates the border between the digital world and reality which is getting thinner every day. Leading a community-driven studio RGBdog, she also teaches at educational institutions globally with her passion towards education.
After graduating from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (graphic design BA), She has exhibited and performed at media art festivals, cultural venues and film festivals including for example Rewire Festival (NL), Nederland Fotomuseum (NL), Ars Electronica (AT), CTM Festival (DE), Jeonju International Film Festival (KR) and iii workspace (NL). Her co-directed film 'Wunderkammer 10.0' was awarded a Special Jury Prize at the Jeonju International Film Festival in 2022, and she was selected for Faces of We Are Europe in the same year.
