Yehwan Song

Tue, Jul 8    3pm

Part of the MS CDP Conversations with Practitioners Lecture Series.

Yehwan Song is a Korean-born web artist who specializes in the creation of anti-user-friendly, non-user-centric, unconventional, and diverse independent websites. Her work—spanning virtual spaces, physical installations, web tools, and user interfaces—satirizes and critiques the overgeneralization of users and the prevalence of templated websites. The primary focus of Song’s artistic endeavors lies in exploring the discomfort and insecurity experienced by marginalized users hidden beneath the facade of technological utopianism, excessive comfort, speed, and ease of use. Her practice attempts to address digital discomfort stemming from a lack of consideration for diversity and a dearth of empathy. Through the act of exposing this discomfort and crafting non-generic web interfaces, Song aims to shed light on the inequalities pervasive within the digital environment.
