Sougwen Chung(US)

Sougwen Chung is an internationally renowned multi-disciplinary artist, who uses hand-drawn and technologically-reproduced marks to address the closeness between person-to-person and person-to-machine communication. She is a former researcher at MIT Media Lab and current Artist in Resident at Bell Labs and New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York.

Her speculative critical practice spans installation, sculpture, still image, drawing, and performance.

Chung received Japan Media Art's Excellence Award in 2016 for her project, 'Drawing Operations'. She has been awarded Artist in Residence positions at Google, Eyebeam, Japan Media Arts, and Pier 9 Autodesk. In 2014, she was selected as one of the Top 20 New Visual Artists by Print Magazine.

Sougwen's multidisciplinary work has been exhibited internationally, including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Geneva, The New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York, the NTT Intercommunication Center (ICC) in Tokyo, and The Drawing Center in New York. Her work has been featured in The New Yorker, the BBC, The New York Times, Fast Company, Wired, Endgadget and USA Today.

As one of the pioneering artists of her generation, Sougwen's art challenges the imagination through its minimalist yet dramatic form. Sougwen's art speaks of movement and change and reflects images of nature in a truly modern setting.
