Sangjun Yoo explores the temporal and architectural evolution of screens, where invisibility transforms into visibility, blending image and information. Unveiling the mind's processes amid a visually saturated reality, his work prompts viewers to reveal the process of the mind in perceiving specific things amid a variety of appearances that drive one’s perspective to somewhere over physical distance. Rooted in research on screens, digital tools, and user interaction, Yoo's current focus delves into the interplay between technology and perception, unraveling the phenomenology of distance and imagined space.
