hello ✋ I am Chaeyoung Kim

Chaeyoung Kim (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist encompassing video, installation, performance and an art educator based in Seoul and Rotterdam. Her work draws on the aesthetics of cuteness such as bright colors, wobbly movements, high-pitched sounds to instigate ‘cute affects’ and encourage social interaction. Her extensive work experience as an art educator has made her aware of how curriculum content and workshops can be useful tools for positively impacting the local community.

self-portrait

During the self-study week, Nor organized the workshop called 'Collaboration, Conflict, Consent workshop'. During the workshop, we were asked to make a self-portrait about what excites us and what scares us. ʕʘ‿ʘʔ Also, the drawing underneath is an illustration of how I imagine my practice is or do to people.

I made this drawing during research station skill

[Japanese translated in Korean] 애당초 신앙의 소리는 조용하게 이야기 되었을 거야. 원시 기독교 시대에도 억압된 신도들은 동굴 속 교회에서 속삭이듯 이야기를 나눴겠지? 그런데 기독교가 공인되고, 교회가 커지면서 바깥 소리에 귀 기울일 필요가 없어졌어. 목회자의 목소리도 낭랑해지고, 교회 건축도 점점 장엄해지고, 파이프오르간도 성대하게 울리게 되었지. 현대건축 특히 고층빌딩들은 그 연장 선상에 있다고 할 수 있지 않을까? [여름은 그곳에 오래 남아, 81p.]

[Korean translated in English] In the first place, the voice of faith must have been talked quietly. Even in the primitive Christian era, the oppressed believers would have whispered in the church in the cave, right? However, as Christianity became official and the church become bigger and stronger, there was no need to listen to outside voices anymore. The pastor's voice became clearer/louder, the church architecture became more and more majestic, and the grander, pipe organ become. Could it be said that modern architecture, especially skyscrapers, is in continuation of that? [excerpt from "At the Foot of the Volcano" by Masashi Matsuie]

flatness

번데기에서 나온 나비의 날개는 착착 접힌 낙하산처럼, 쭈글쭈글 구겨진 편지처럼 뭉쳐 있었다. 녀석들이 번데기에서 나오는 모습을 내 눈으로 보고서도 그렇게 큰 날개가 그렇게 좁은 공간에 담겨 있다는 사실이 믿기지 않았다. 갓 우화한 나비는 몸통이 뚜렷이 눈에 들어왔다. 일단 날개가 펼쳐져서 그 생명체를 압도하게 되면 이후에는 다시 볼 수 없는 모습이었다. 그 짧은 순간 나비는 꼭 벌레처럼, 곤충처럼 보였다. 감각을 느낄 줄 아는 꽃의 사촌인 양 화려한 날개로만 보이는 나중의 모습과는 달랐다. 몸통은 우화 후 몇 분 안에 날개로 펌프질해 넣어서 날개를 날기에 알맞은 평면으로 펼쳐내는 데 쓸 체액을 머금고 있기 때문에 아직 통통했다. 나비들이 각자의 번데기에 달라붙어 있는 동안, 그들의 날개가 거의 알아차릴 수 없을 만큼 서서히 펼쳐졌다. 번데기에서 완전히 빠져나오지 못해서 날개가 영영 다 펼쳐지지 않는 녀석도 있었다.

The Promise of Happiness by Sara Ahmed

  행복은 우리와 가까운 영역, 우리 주변을 형성하고 있는 세계를 친숙한 것들의 세계로 만드는 데 결정적 역할을 한다. 우리에게 쾌락을 주는 대상들은 우리의 신체적 지평 안에 둥지를 튼다. 우리가 좋아하는 것들likes을 갖게 된다는 것은 우리가 무엇과 같은지 like를 확립하는 일이다. 신체적 지평이란 좋아하는 것들의 지평이다. "우리가 좋아하는 것들"을 가진다는 건 어떤 것들이 우리 주변에 모인다는 뜻이다. 물론, 우리는 새로운 것들과 마주치기도 한다. 새로운 것들에 개방적이라는 것은 우리가 그것들을 우리와 근접한 영역으로 흡수하는 데 개방적이란 뜻이다. 흡수할지 말지는 우리가 마주친 그것을 좋아하느냐에 달려 있다. 좋아하지 않는 것들로부터 우리는 거리를 둔다. 거리두기를 통해 우리는 우리 지평의 가장자리를 확립한다.

Dear Science by Katherine McKittrick

Wonder

(...)Dear Science argues that black people have always used interdisciplinary methodologies to explain, explore, and story the world, becuase thinking and writing and imagining across a range of texts, disciplines, histories, and genres unselttles suffocating and dismal and insular racial logics. By employing interdisciplinary methodologies and living interdisciplinary worlds, black people bring together various sources and texts and narratives to challenge racism. Or, black people bring together various sources and texts and narratives not to capture something or someone, but to question the analytical work of capturing, and the desire to capture, something or someone. (...) Within black studies and anticolonial studies, one can observe an ongoing method of gathering multifariously textured tales, narratives, fictions, whispers, songs, grooves. The texture offer one way to challenge the primacy of evidentiary and insular normalcies, because they are allegedly incongruous. In assembling ideas that are seemingly disconnected and uneven (the seabird and the epilogue, the song and the soil, the punch clock and the ecosystem, the streetlight and the kick-on-beat), the logic of knoeing-to-prove is unsustainable because incongruity appears to be offering atypical thinking. Yet curioisity thrives. (...) Also, assembling ideas that are seemingly connected () fuse and break apart how we know, necause we seek out continuities and ruptures. And curiosity thrives. (...) What is meaningful, then, are the ways in which black people are interdisciplinary actors, continually entangling and disentangling varying narratives and tempos and hues that, together, invent and reinvent knowledge.

FOOTNOTES

Black studies engenders, shares, and demands diasporic literacy; black studies theorizes black liberation not through categories (identity) but from the perspective of struggle (struggle is entangled with identities-places-embodiments-infrastructures-narratives-feeling).

THE SMALLEST CELL REMEMBERS A SOUND

If we are committed to anticolonial thought, our starting point must be one of disobedient relationality that always questions, and thus is not beholden to, normative academic logics.(...)The project of making discipline overwhelmingly only gives us two options for the study of black people--to describe racism and resist racism; these options rarely have any noise or curiosity or questions about black life interrupting them. (...) Method-making is the generating and gathering of ideas--across-with0outside-within-against normative disciplines--that seek out liberation within our present system of knowledge. The goal is not to find liberation, but to seek it out.

SOMETHING THAT EXCEEDS ALL EFFORTS TO DEFINITIVELY PIN IT DOWN

(...)The question of stories and storytelling illuminate the method of collaboration. I learned from working with her. I learned from her that sharing stories engenders creative rigorous radical theory. Wait. I learned from her that sharing stories is creative rigorous radical theory. The act of sharing stories is the theory and the methodology. The process is difficult to make sense of in terms of the process and praxis of collaboration as affective possibility. Every time we speak on the telephone, I have my pen in hand, but I do not always use it. We share ideas, and stories, and our histories, and part of this collaboration was her generously sharing ideas that I wrote down because I believed them with all my heart. And lucky for me, she believed me too. (We must believe each other; we must believe the stories we tell one another.) I guess what I am trying to write but cannot pinpoint is that the collaborative aspects of the work allowed us to share ideas in ways that I did not anticipate. The project is, then, not solely text; it is the unpublishable work of conversing over several years and continuing that conversation. I did not expect to be this patient. The conversation is forever and it is forever rewound very fast and then replayed; "The friendship itself, a form of life that cannot be totally capitalized on and is therefore slightly in excess of work as we know it.... Working in friendship could be a way to work outside of productivity demands."

FAILURE(MY HEAD WAS FULL OF <ISTY FUMES OF DOUBT)

(...)To put it simply, solving crimes often involves surveying and marking black and/or impoverished geographies and claiming that this is not profiling because places, rather than people, are being targeted. In other words, social problems are resolved through producing calculations, equations, and problem-solving operations; these problems (black people) are translated into cartographically itemized racial codes. Part of our task, then, is to notice how algorithms have a place and take place and produce place and how blackness--where we know from--understands and reorders these geographies. I also focus on geography to dislodge crude identity politics, to cast the net beyond the individual and to emphasize that where we know from--rather than what we already know about seemingly authentic selves--is a more generous and difficult political project that takes into account interhuman geographies. (...) With this in mind, I suture a black sense of place to these mathematics and problem-solving practices in order to unthink the violence that often accompanies the production of space. (...) The work and process of the coding conceals a long biocentric statistical history that continues to define "traits"--out genetic characteristics--as variables. A variable is a symbol that represents a quantity in a mathematical expression. What unfolds are measurable numbers--often abstracted from human input--calculating resolutions that we care about. /n If we understand algorithms in this vein, we can begin to tease out how numbers and mathematical equations are tied to a biocentric system if knowledge. What becomes increasingly clear, then, is not simply that the results and answers racist (e.g., your traits mathematically result in your incarceration), but that the work of administrating algorithms (e.g., what we do to solve the problems that we care about) requires biocentric methods and methodologies that can only produce dehumanizing mathematical results.(...)What comes into clear view, then, is not simply the racist result but the administrative and methodological steps that require racism before they begin to work through and towards the problem. (...) Geography matters because it functions to illuminate how algorithmic answers to our problems--what we care about--are embedded in place. Interestingly, the more we research these connections between geography and algorithms, the more we notice how the former, geography, is racially codified. Predictive algorithms are not only imitating a racist system, they are refusing an already refused black humanity by marking black geographies predictably criminal. (...) Part of our intellectual task, then, is to work out how different kinds and types of texts, voices, and geographies relate to each other and open up unexpected and surprising ways to talk about liberation, knowledge, and history, race, gender, narrative, and blackness.

One choice but a well-picked choice. If you want to work with the sun and moisture chose either one.
Keep it simple. That is the way that the project will be strong. Things that ppl can emotionally connect to. Get to the core.
You are taking digital things to say digital things. There is no friction. There is no contrast.

Questions

~~Q1 Which image do you choose?~~
~~Q2 How this image will get old and die eventually?~~

Notes:

Depending on which material I chose, it will change how time effects will be different. 예컨대 페인트칠이면 벗겨지는 것일테고, 혹은 녹이 스는 것일테고 아니면 눅눅해지고 잉크가 번지는 것일수도 있겠고, 아니면 시커매지면서 손때가 묻는 것 일수도 있겠고,(마우스 커서 손가락을 또 이용할 수 도 있겠고)
