Sae Oh is a North America- and Seoul-based multidisciplinary artist, designer, educator and poet. Sae works with video, text, digital image-making, sound, performance and installation. Her artistic interest is centered around how human memory is constructed, deconstructed and reconstructed in response to virtual and real heterotopias. In her current art practice, Sae is experimenting with a multidisciplinary physical/virtual installation composed of found and collected images, texts and sound to construct a viewer-contextualized meta-immersive experience.
Sae’s works have been exhibited as part of multiple exhibitions worldwide including Transitory Void in Boston Cyberarts Gallery and No Longer Transparent in RISD’s Gelman Gallery, and she has collaborated as a creative video director for artists and creative studios such as Theatrical Laboratory Machal, Shona Kitchen and Tess Oldfield. She has upcoming solo shows in CICA Museum (Seoul, December 2023) and Floor Project (Seoul, June 2024). Sae is a part-time faculty member at RISD, and she will participate in the Uncool Artist Residency program in Brooklyn, NY from July to December, 2024.
She received an MFA in Digital+Media at RISD in 2023 and a BA in Theatre & Film Design from Chung-Ang University in Seoul, South Korea in 2017.

SECTION DESCRIPTION
Studio: Spatial Dynamics is a studio-based inquiry into physical, spatial and temporal phenomena. The study of Spatial Dynamics is rooted in the necessity to consider forces and their effects on structure. Force is the consequence of energy. In Spatial Dynamics the energy and resultant forces are studied in actual motion, stability, and materiality. The structures of physical, spatial and temporal phenomena are studied through additive, subtractive, transformative, iterative, and ephemeral processes both analog and digital. Mediums and materials that are commonly explored and utilized have a broad range of characteristics due to their organic and synthetic sources. Most assignments utilize methods such as preliminary sketches and diagrams in research, planning, and experimental processes. Assignments reference the histories and theories of art and design and include areas of inquiry that extend to disciplines such as the sciences, music, dance, film, and theater.
Enrollment is limited to First-Year Undergraduate Students.
