Soyun Bang
South Korea, b. 1992

Bang Soyun's art begins with disrupting the hierarchy between the digital and physical worlds. Considering that the things existing in the digital world and the states they form are generally defined by the term 'virtual reality,' it may seem as though the physical world holds superiority in terms of reality. However, as a digital native, Bang freely navigates between the digital and physical worlds, accepting experiences in both realms as equivalent realities. Various experiences intertwine and influence each other, constantly shaping the artist's identity. Focusing on sensorial experiences where the distinction between reality and virtuality fades away, Bang creates virtual digital entities and brings them into physical reality through her work. Initially, she implemented simple forms of animals, plants, or objects, but recently, she has been exploring concrete human figures as sensory receptor perceiving the world. Her works exist in various material or immaterial forms such as paintings, videos, and even augmented reality (AR). Through 3D modeling software, she visualizes different independent narratives and reproduces them in various ways into multiple forms. In her painting, the most crucial factor is the physical properties of materials and the profound experience of her body dealing with those materials. In 3D programs, Bang imitates everyday reality while enhancing an alienating sensation by distorting and rearranging the properties of material experienced in physical reality. During the process of translating these digitally generated images into paintings, she employs optimized materials and techniques to maximize surrealism, rendering them as highly tangible objects. Throughout this process, the artist sensitively senses and observes her own body's interaction with the materials, which makes herself undergo continuous evolution. When reproducing these digitally generated images in paintings, she uses optimized materials and techniques to implement unreal characteristics into physical sensations and forms, delicately sensing and observing the body handling the materials throughout the process.
