Lee Yongbeck is a leading media artist who uses interactivity, sounds, robotics, and technology in creating art works that cross over various genres from single channel video, photographs, sculpture, paintings to installation. Based on various thematic matters and ideas, he deals with visualization of major issues in contemporary media culture such as ‘representation and symbols,’ ‘the real and simulacra,’ ‘heterogeneity and obscenity,’ ‘multiple or ‘decentered identities,’ etc. Focusing on more philosophical aspect rather than mastery of techniques, he attempts to find new visual language to express paradoxes and changing paradigms in the contemporary lives of technophile era.
