Soyun Bang’s art begins by blurring the boundaries between the digital and physical world, viewing both as equivalent realities. Utilizing 3D modeling softwares and augmented reality to reconstruct her own stories in various forms of self expression, she sharply observes the relationship between her creative thinking and AI algorithms, which reflect in her works.
Her new series “Black Painting,” show cased for the first time in Japan, was inspired by a programming error in the 3D software “Blender” that caused the skin of a character she was drawing to turn black. The void-like blackness caused by the Blender error was physically transformed into a rich texture in the form of a painting, giving new meaning to the process of digital to analog art. In her artist statement, she states; “the fact that this blackness, signifying “void,” was ironically transformed into a material texture on the painting felt like a reason for me to summon digital images onto the canvas in the physical world”.
