Jaeha Ban’s research-based practice investigates what happens when vast geopolitical and computational structures of borders, global distribution chains, Cold War ideologies, and AI systems meet the frictions of lived reality. Ban co-founded the Image Center of Divided Korea, a speculative museum set in a post-division future that reimagines cultural possibilities beyond nationalism or reunification discourse. Increasingly working with AI and interactive games in their performances, Ban uses technology as a means to reveal representational gaps where political absence becomes encoded directly into data.
Soyun Park is a South Korean interdisciplinary artist, researcher, and educator based in The Hague whose work examines how media technologies govern and choreograph the human body. Approaching these entanglements with critical humour, she stages audiovisual devices that unsettle the boundaries of cinema while probing the power dynamics of surveillance and machine learning. Park leads the community-driven studio RGBdog, teaches internationally, and exhibits across festivals and cultural institutions including Rewire Festival, Ars Electronica, and Jeonju International Film Festival, where her co-directed film Wunderkammer 10.0 received a Special Jury Prize. She is currently a researcher at the Netherlands Film Academy.
