Eunsu Kang is an international media artist from Seoul, Korea. For a decade or more, she has been invited to numerous shows around the world. She was awarded her first and second solo exhibitions for her video installations. Her third solo exhibition was held on cellular phones with wireless internet connections. She is also a winner of the Insa Web/Mobile Art Project Award in 2003, the Korean National Juried Project for 2000: the Year of New Arts and the Korean National Fund for Emerging Artists which supported her collaborative international telematic project, Seonang in 2005. She was introduced as one of the most promising young artists in the book, Young Korean Artists 45: Interviews in 2006. Her life as an innovative artist in Seoul, a very crowded metropolis of the country with high speed internet access everywhere, and her MFA and MA in Media Arts and Technology degrees gave her chances to explore various materials and technologies. Currently she is focusing on more genuine use of sound, body and space to enhance immersive art experiences as a PhD candidate at the Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media (DXARTS) in the University of Washington. Her current research interests center on the use of non-verbal languages as a part of cyborg communication and interactive audiovisual installations representing questions, but not necessarily pursuing answers.
