SeoNang
SeoNang is an international telematic project between Seattle (USA) and Seoul (Korea) in 2005. Four media artsits worked collaboratively to create SeoNang as a shared interactive environment linking two physical spaces in real-time. SeoNang represents a third space in the 'in-between' dimension and induces participants to communicate in their telepresence visualized in the third space, namely SeoNang. The project title, SeoNang is an appropriation of the name of a guardian deity tree (and also the area around the tree) in Korea. This tree traditionally served as a border sign between two towns as well as a temporal shelter for the sick or women expelled from their society. In this context, we regard SeoNang as a "virtual membrane", acting as a third zone where participants can momentarily dissolve through to its "lipid" interior. Participants collaborate to create forms out of the membrane. Each space sees the membrane from the opposite direction, turning the screen into a window into a virtual space that sits between Seattle and Seoul. Audio generated from the silhouette forms provides local feedback and a greater sense of direct interaction with the membrane.
The Unknown Zone_Invitation I: Aliens

The Unknown Zone_Invitation I: Aliens was the first solo exhibition in 2002 by Eunsu Kang. As a 2002 Insa Art Space (The Korean Art and Culture Foundation) juried exhibition, it was sponsored by InfoArtKorea and CyberMed Inc.. This exhibition consists of five video installations. Participants are led to a dark space where they encounter five floating motion pictures, entitled Medium, in a hallway. As they turn a corner, visitors are welcomed by four creatures: Chrysalis who breathes underwater, Persephone who cowers near the corner of the big main space, Siren who sings without a mouth, and Struldbrugg who transforms its head on the sand. These aliens, neglected and outcast from normal society, arrive at the Unknown Zone. By exposing themselves through a chasm in the unknown zone, they hope to neutralize their own isolation by colliding and communicating with the participants.

Siren III

Siren III is a sound visualization project in 2005 that displays a three dimensional head which is deformed according to a pre-recorded voice. Symbolically, the Siren sings this inaudible song through her own body. (Prior works: Siren II, Siren I) Sound samples deform a 3D head which was volumetrically constructed from MRI scan data of the artist. Deformations are thus accumulated and affect new deformations continually.
Collective Morphology
Collective Morphology is an interactive installation project from a collaboration with Rama Hoetzlein in 2004. Recent biological investigations reveal that the collective behaviors of social insects such as the construction of nests can result in complex emergent structures. Collective Morphology is a collaborative interactive exhibit which allows visitors to directly experience the biological process of the emergent generation of form.
Unknown Zone_MOBILE
Unknown Zone_MOBILE is Eunsu Kang's third solo exhibition as an attempt at exploration of an alternative exhibition. It was held on the wireless web service for cellular-phones for audiences who do not have a chance to appreciate art work at a conventional gallery space. This exhibition was sponsored by KTF in 2003
Unknown Zone II
Unknown Zone II was Kang's second solo exhibition in 2003. A 2003 Sinsagae Gallery awarded juried exhibition, it consists of 5 short movies that evoke an inner itinerary in 5 scenes. The viewer is presented with five mysteries: Two Heads Trying to Face Each Other, an Invisible Ruin, a Nonexistent Boundary and a Queen Becoming a Stone. This composition represents an endless nomadic journey in an attempt to approach somewhere, or someone. Can the spinning heads face each other? Can we find the nonexistent boundary? Can the rainbow fish return to become human again? Can tears of the queen play a musical scale to form a song? Can a subservient being, deprived of language for communication, sing a song?
