Heejoon June Yoon
Heejoon June Yoon is an interdisciplinary artist and educator whose research uncovers the ecology of absurdity and latent violence within contemporary society. Her recent work revolves around web culture and feminist narratives by building immersive audiovisual environments as storytelling platforms. Through various forms of storytelling, Yoon has been exploring the cycle of perception, framing and indoctrination of normality while questioning the ridiculousness of this cycle. Her unsettling imagery allows viewers to experience the unexpected monstrosity of reality.
Yoon’s films and other works have been presented internationally at venues such as Montreal World Film Festival, Boston Cyberarts, Shelter in Place Gallery, CICA Museum, Space 413, White Noise and Pier Contemporary and on such online platforms as the Foundation.app, Wrong Biennale and Radio Nopal.

FOUND 1003-21
STUDIO: DESIGN
SECTION DESCRIPTION
Studio: Design promotes multidisciplinary studio experimentation across an array of media and processes. Students explore the organization of visual and other sensory elements in order to understand perceptual attributes and the production of meaning. Using various methods of expression, students may create objects, spaces, and experiences that demonstrate their analysis of composition, color, narrative, motion, systems, and cultural signification. Assignments allow for inquiries into scientific, social, cultural, historical, philosophical, technological, and political topics. Critical and experimental utilization of design principles, which underpin all of the arts, are emphasized. Students are guided through progressive investigations, in which the act of seeing is amplified by the study of physiological and cognitive factors that generate perception. Examined subjects are taken through stages of representation, abstraction, and/or symbolic interpretation to reveal essential communicative properties.
Enrollment is limited to First-Year Undergraduate Students.
