Miyoung Song explores our perception toward to space, memory and power in her interactive art, lighting sculpture and installation art.

Elements of her consideration are consist of:
• Viewer’s interactivity between lights and architectural space,
• Constructions of sculptural and architectural form and its physical progress,
• Light and sound as tropes to examine our experience of the world in its spiritual, physical, and intellectual dimensions.

The eye turns light into electrical impulses, which travel along the optic nerve to the brain, triggering the release of the mood–altering chemical and impacting our emotion. When we encounter light in human environment, we bring to the experience an understanding–much of it unconscious–that reaches back our memory. Psychology of light including understanding of our perception and subjective impression of space is concerned as well as constructing aesthetic and architectural forms in space.

Born and raised in Seoul, Korea, Song immigrated to the United States in the early 90’s after receiving BFA in sculpture from Hong-Ik University in Seoul, Korea. Continuing her study in Pratt Institute in New York, she holds a MFA and a MS in Sculpture and History of Arts. She has exhibited numerous solo and group shows in Seoul and New York. Her controversial interactive video installation, 'Shoot Me II: After You Shoot (2002)?’ caught international media attentions including NY1 and Fox5 TV channels, Russian and Spanish TV channel: and New York Sun, New York Post, NewsDay and Globe and Mail in Canada.
Song lives and works in Brooklyn as an artist and a lighting designer.
