"CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY"

Hanul's body of work encompasses a diverse array of projects such as algorithmically generated visuals, data-driven infographics, and immersive XR narratives, highlighting their proficiency across multiple disciplines. They utilize a variety of software tools to bring their ideas to life, and are always learning something new. "Remember to imagine and craft the world you cannot live without, just as you dismantle the ones you cannot live within," said Ruha Benjamin. In their creative practice, Hanul critically re-examines the current state of things, re-imagines their content and structure, and re-builds them in digital environments. Hanul believes that envisioning alternative versions of the world can help us work towards a better reality.

Born in the mid 90s and raised in South Korea, Hanul witnessed the emergence of internet culture and its impact on many aspects of everyday life. Hanul grew up on SayClub and Cyworld, Korea's earliest social networking platforms, and read Webtoons, which are digital comics created, shared, and enjoyed fully online. This formative engagement with internet culture has furnished Hanul with a multi-faceted comprehension of digital technology's pervasive influence on communication and entertainment. This sustained engagement with networked culture gave Hanul a nuanced understanding of technology’s social and civic roles. Their work explores the relationship among art, media, and technology with a commitment to user-centered design and human-centered computing.
