Youngji Cho

Youngji Cho (@ozzoozzoozzo) is a transdisciplinary media artist and researcher based in South Korea and Germany. Her work addresses the themes of circulation and harmony between art and technology, living and non-living beings, and nature and non-nature. She has a particular interest in the power dynamics in-between any (in)sensible beings, which touches upon her South Korean roots, especially focusing on the traumas in Korean bodies with the history of colonization and division, and as an East-Asian woman living in the West, how these affect her daily life with (micro-)aggressions and discriminations. She exhibited her artworks at Sonic Acts, V2_ lab for unstable media, Nederland film festival, Waterlight festival, and other venues in South Korea, Italy, and the Netherlands. For the recent two years, she taught digital transformation design, DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), and creative coding at Amsterdam University of Applied Science
