Soyun Park is a multidisciplinary artist and designer living in The Hague. She is also a founder of RGBdog, a studio bridging technology, and sound with visual arts. Park is interested in the question of how technology influences human functioning, from the individual level (physical movement and relationships) to the social level (architecture and politics). Often in collaboration with sound artists, her work takes the shape of videos, installations, and audiovisual performances.
