Bomi Yook
<span class="not-set">(not set)</span>
Calgary-based Korean Canadian artist Bomi Yook uncovers the hidden world of information infrastructures through her multimedia practice. She implements digital artifacts in her contemplative pieces, reshaping the narrative of the visible world. Yook explores the boundaries between technological and biological through the power dynamics that exist in her performances. The interactions between human, machine and nature provide a closer view into the system we live in. Yook's most recent projects dive into the world of computational machines and their political impact on the globalization of network platforms and addressing systems. Through the creation of fictional worlds, she questions the centralization of control and the monitorization of behaviour these machines can hold. Yook underlines the opportunistic exploitations these abstract states can have on societies. These themes are reflected through unsettling post-internet visual trips, evocative of uncertain futures to come.
