Graduation Show 2026 : Sunjoo Lee | KABK, The Hague
CURRENT viewing_room
Sunjoo Lee (b. 1993, South Korea) is an interdisciplinary artist working across art, technology, and ecology, based in the Netherlands and South Korea. Her practice reimagines the use of electronics and digital tools beyond human-centred purposes, exploring more-than-human philosophy, emergence, biomimicry, symbiosis, and permacomputing. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Man and Communication from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2018, and completed a Master of Arts in Artistic Research at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK) in 2026.
She collaborates with biologists, ecologists, and engineers to conduct artistic research and create multimedia installations that promote hybridity between the biosphere and technosphere. Her current research Electric Garden is a living network of microbial fuel cells that “ferment” electricity, framing energy production as an emergent relationship between soil, microbes, plants, and machines.
Her work has been shown at venues including Ars Electronica Festival in Austria, and Kunstvereniging Diepenheim in the Netherlands. She is currently an artist-in-residence at FIBER Reassemble Lab, and at Creative Coding Utrecht.
