Sunjeong Hwang (b. 1989, Seoul, South Korea) is a transmedia artist and multidisciplinary researcher whose practice spans video, sound, installation, and performance. Working at the intersection of posthumanism, generative technology, and ecological systems, she constructs multisensory environments that function as speculative interfaces, redistributing perception across human, non-human, and technological networks. Her research-based project Planetary Weaving investigates networked intelligence, non-human agencies, and collective embodied cognition, integrating field recording, generative coding, 3D scanning, movement, and sensory observation into multichannel video, sound works, and immersive installations.
Hwang is part of the generative art duo organic Operators (oOps.50656) and runs Hertz and Dough, a sound research lab focused on biosphere listening and spatial sound. Her work has been recognized with the SONGEUN Art Award (2023) and the Future Tense Award (2022, Hong Kong), and she is a 2025 transmediale Resident.
Sunjeong Hwang presented her work in Skin and Nerve, a joint exhibition with Wonhae Hwang at 68projects by KORNFELD Galerie Berlin from 6 March to 18 April 2026, developed during her 2025 residency in Berlin.
Sunjeong Hwang (b. 1989, Seoul, South Korea) lives and works in Seoul and Berlin. She is a contemporary transmedia artist and multidisciplinary researcher whose practice moves across video, sound, installation, and performance, investigating posthumanism, generative technologies, and ecological systems. Her work constructs multisensory environments that function as speculative interfaces, challenging the limits of sensory perception and probing the evolving relationships between nature, technology, and non-human existence.
At the core of Hwang's practice is the research-based project Planetary Weaving, through which she explores networked intelligence, non-human agencies, and collective embodied cognition. Her works integrate field recording, generative coding, 3D scanning, movement, and sensory observation, resulting in multichannel video, sound works, and installations that evoke visions of expanded connectivity and symbiosis while simultaneously exposing the underlying structures of control embedded in digital interfaces. Alongside this, Hwang is part of the generative art duo organic Operators (oOps.50656) and runs Hertz and Dough, a sound research lab dedicated to biosphere listening and spatial sound. These parallel structures reflect a practice that is as much about collective inquiry and institutional experimentation as it is about individual authorship.
Hwang's work has been presented at major international institutions and festivals, including SeMA (Seoul Museum of Art), Art Center Nabi (Seoul), the Asia Culture Center (ACC), C-Lab (Taiwan), Sonic Acts (Amsterdam), Mutek JP and MX, ISEA (Paris, 2023), and the Abu Dhabi Festival. She is a 2025 transmediale Resident and the recipient of the SONGEUN Art Award (2023) and the Future Tense Award (2022, Hong Kong). Her sound and audiovisual performances have been presented at international venues including the UKAI Project in Toronto.
In 2025, Sunjeong Hwang was an artist-in-residence at 68projects by KORNFELD Galerie Berlin. The residency gave rise to Skin and Nerve, a joint exhibition with Wonhae Hwang presented at 68projects from 6 March to 18 April 2026. Bringing together video, sound, and painting, the exhibition explored how contemporary image cultures oscillate between technological immersion and material resistance. Hwang's contributions constructed immersive environments drawing on AI, field recording, and speculative interfaces, staging a productive tension between digital connectivity and perceptual interruption. The exhibition asked a timely question: in an image culture driven by acceleration, immersion, and optimization, can opacity, interruption, and perceptual strain still function as critical tools? Her practice continues to expand its engagement with non-human networks and speculative ecologies, positioning Sunjeong Hwang as one of the most rigorous voices working at the intersection of sound, technology, and post-human inquiry today.
