pays homage to "a long sunday where nothing happens but that is exactly what we want." I feel lazy and I am content to do whatever.

a morning with m.v. harte (2011)
giddy up, st. pete (2011)

is, in post-production, a poetic reexamination of our collective soul through visual experimentation of artificial colors, hues, and intensities. The rapid conveyor belt of this 21st century drags all of us along its rollercoaster. Let's stop and let's enjoy this darkness.

Sooner than later (2010)

is inspired by microarray experiments and illustrates the surprising beauty of a complex gene expression profile. Created with Ashwin K., this 3D animation moves through various experimental and computational steps in the state-of-art genomic study, from hybridization and data extraction to clustering and network analysis.

2010 ISMB Art & Science Exhibition Selection

or "how i never grew up" is a lo-fi visual travel journal, a self-reflective confession, and a depressing thought. Flip video clips from Europe (circa summer 2009) were layered with filmmaker's nonlinear storytelling of the past, the present, and the future. Through a seemingly arbitrary mixture of visual, narrative, and constant noise, the narrator commemorates those overwhelming hospitalities of "our" drivers, strangers, and friends.

Watch Auto. Stop. Go. (2009-2010)

is an non-linear database video, produced as an interactive installation. From a 30 hour long video archive of private, public, and social happenings in Australia, Korea, and South Africa, 34 clips are created and organized according to their themes, compositions, and narratives. Through navigating these clips, viewers may discover my own psychological and physical journey accompanied by commentaries from my family and friends.

Watch Segmented Memories (2007-2008)
Smith Warehouse Arts Exhibition in Durham, NC (May 2009)
C.H.A.T. Festival Selection in Chapel Hill, NC (Feburary 2010)

is a collection of five short documentaries, exploring problems, dilemmas, and philosophical inquiries of youth. Through personal interviews, five young men share alternative perspectives and life styles with a sense of humor. An evolution of formats and stylistic approaches highlights the filmmaker's own maturation process over three years.

Lovely screening at the Duke Coffee House (May 2009)

is a generative video installation by Bill Seaman and Daniel C. Howe. This work recombines words and motion pictures in real-time, based on associative data. The audience is encouraged to make their own associations. From footages of installaions, soundtracks, and interviews, I was commissioned to create two videos.

Watch a Showcase Reel from Sao Paulo (Fall 2008)
Watch a Paris Version with Commentaries (Fall 2008)

is a self-portrait of the 1.5 generation whose inner and outter transformation is neither resistible nor beneficial nor undesirable. A half hour clip of violent yet tranquil self-modification, in a bright green studio, results in a mohawk without a cause.

Extremely Unfortunately Lost (Spring 2007)

is an experimental video, capturing a "high caliber" life style of college students whose pursuit of efficiency spawns mundane repetition and thoughtlessness. Can this generation be saved? Cyclic video clips, still pictures, and an original sound track explore this phenomenon as well as my sympathy, concern, and personal dilemma.

Watch High Caliber (Fall 2006)
Scene First Film Festival in Wilmington, NC (July, 2007)

is a montage of several ethnicities expressing their love of music. Short, simple, and bold, this short video, broadcasted nationally on MTV and MTV2, expresses how we can bond and communicate through the universal language -- music.

MTV MPEG US Selection (March 2003)

was my first ever video project, created with a Hi8 camera. After examining my self, my friends, and my generation, I wanted to create a work that rebels and reveals; lifeless and endless race within a narrow education cycle.

Vice Controller constitutes both a re-creation and a representation of our networked ecosystems and societies. Collaborating with Ashwin Kulothungun, this installaion-in-process amplifies a scientific process to present an uncensored, tactile experience of our ability to direct biological and environmental change, and to thus question the nature of our responsibilities.

A traditional publication scheme in science has incurred not only financial charges to readers, but also a significant delay in delivering scientific discoveries. With the advent of networked computers, scholarly discourses may be delievered swiftly, widely, and directly without inflicting financial burdens on fellow researchers and the public. While working at an open access journal for undergraduate scientists, I wrote an editorial summarizing and advocating for new communication paradigm.

Editorial in the Journal of Young Investigators

With Daniela Atanasova, we held a workshop for the 2009 Cre8ive8 Youth Media Production training course, which took place in Strumica, Republic of Macedonia on July 4th-11th. To about 20 students from Poland, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia, we introduced new media theories and practices. Particularly, we employed the Korsakow System to create an interactive database video with a theatrical narrative.

Through NanoBio Engineering Teaching Fellowship, I taught innovative hands-on science experiments at Sherwood Githens Middle School (Durham, NC) for a year. Working with Mr. Phillips, we explored and brought "fun" approaches to get students interested in science and engineering.

Sherwood Githens Middle School

Phil Greenspan (Philosophy, Duke '09) and I developed and taught a undergraduate seminar course on philosophy of and for new media. Both new and old philosophical inquires are ubiquitously embedded in new media form and content. Specifically we focused on four major topics: Personal Identity, Simulacra Simulation and Synthetic, Self-Referentiality, and Free Will.

Lifeomics is a database-driven wellness model in a synthetic world, with a watch-like health monitoring interface. The system designs and functionalties were refind in the Emergent Embeded Interface course with Dr. Seaman. Using social, personal, and medical information, Lifeomics will promote wellbeing living, participatory health learning, social awareness of new medicine.

"Lifeomics" on the Triple Helix Online

The Starry Night Film Society in Durham, NC had screened over 40 experimental, obscure, and offensive films between 2006 and 2009. While nothing valuable came out of the society, personally it served as an informal hub for social interactions and artistic inspirations. It is now defunct, happily and nostalgically.

I was born in Korea and never had childhood. I spent my teenagehood in Saint Petersburg, FL and my early 20's in Durham, NC. I had once called Sydney and Cape Town home. Somehow I ended in Jersey City. I am open for collaborations, commissioned works, and good ol' friends.
