![Pulp FM]( "Pulp FM")
infoA binaural recording was produced while walking around the British Museum, exploring the site as a space of entering the past. The recording was continuously transmitted from within the pulp tower, where the panel against the wall received the signal through a bone transducer. This allowed the paper to act as a conduit for a vibrational surface, allowing sound to manifest - from the past into the presence of the now.

The wheel was coated with wax, picking up the remants and grooves of it's previous location. The needle placed against the wheel allowed instant playback, as the user navigates in space with the device. The needle was connected to a pre-amplifier, allowing an amplification and an interpretation of the marks along the wax surface.

To Become Weightless, 내가 죽어야 한다면 Royal Academy of Art The Hague The Hague, Netherlands To Become Weightless, 내가 죽어야 한다면 is a re-enactment of the historical narratives surrounding the construction of symbols for peace. The work draws on the Peace Palace and it’s foundation stone in The Hague - along with the parallel history of three Korean emissaries who first came to The Hague in 1907 for the Second Hague Peace Conference. Seeking support for Korea’s independence under Japanese colonization, they were ultimately denied entry. By overlaying the names of the denied Korean emissaries onto the foundation stone, the act serves as an exercise in remembrance and re-enacting the past to uncover discrepancies in how we choose to remember.

Jokbo Radiophrenia Glasgow & London, United Kingdom Jokbo was a compilation of dream sequences, memories and voices that are based on my family tree - hailing from the Korean traditional practice of geneaogy books. Fragments of people from my own family that I’ve never met and from those that are present in my life are recollected through audio notes detailing my dreams of them over the course of the year, and through EVP recordings. The audio sequences were recorded and broadcasted through HAM radio.
