Jiwon Choi

Born in Seoul, Korea, Jiwon received her BFA in Printmaking from the HongIk University in Seoul, South Korea and worked for a wallpaper company as a graphic designer and worked as an illustrator for a TV production company. Currently she is a MFA candidate in Digital Media at the Rhode Island School of Design. I want to make my artwork to be understood and developed into contents with proper reasoning along the present time. My goal is to become an artist who can contribute toward bringing a freer communication by integrating the sensibility of my fine art background to the digital media aesthetics with passion in experimentation and diverse experience. Sometimes I ponder what interactivity is, it confuses me still. Can digital media art works actually improve the communication with in the people or is it that bi-dimensional works of art provide more freedom and convenience when engaging them? Sometimes, in the media art, visible (just what we see) is not important to solve the puzzle. The power of media art is to suggest an atmosphere and to bring people’s experience and perception out to the space and make them operate enough so they can be able to communicate through them. Media artwork and all our senses regarding experience and perception can make up for their dormescent function in each other and make it one whole space. People say that digital media tend to lean on much technique more than emotion. Maybe that is the reason why digital media is described as ‘noisy’. I also easily pass over the important part in concentrating on the digital technique. What I am trying to do is to find emotion in logic. Be silent in digital is what I am pursuing. Collecting and carefully stretching my experiences to others, I hope that the viewer will find their own experience through the space that I have created.
