Sae Oh

Critic

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.
