Sougwen Chung explores the mark made-by-hand and the mark made-by-machine as an approach to understanding the interaction between humans and computers. Her speculative artistic practice is inspired by intuitive and algorithmic processes and spans installation, sculpture, still image, drawing, and performance. In 2016, she was presented with the Excellence Award by Japan Media Arts for her project Drawing Operations, a collaborative performance with a robotic arm. Chung was an artist and research affiliate at MIT’s Media Lab in Cambridge as well as an inaugural member of The New Museum’s NEW INC in New York.
