TAEZOO PARK

  • Korean-born New York based artist Taezoo Park is a digital artist whose work explores analog and digital technologies. Park pushes new artistic forms through his unique use of digital codes, emphasizing the existent ‘character’ within an abandoned and forgotten technology. Park’s practice investigates the revitalization of former systems in a world of rapidly expanding digital domination where humans increasingly experience a gap between our connection to and comprehension of technology.
