This project is created by   media artists Eunsu Kang, Joel S Kollin and Juan Pampin. Integrating not only cultural perspectives from Korea, USA, and Argentina, but also strong specialties based on fine art, electronics engineering and computer music, these artists synthesize a broad palette of contemporary artistic sensibilities and skills with a deep understanding in media art.

is an international media artist from Korea. She has been invited to many exhibitions and film festivals around the world.

Dream of the source of the water supply A while ago, I had a dream of myself surrounded by my acquaintances on a huge deck that was bridging the small and large parts of an island. I was sitting in the center and watching the people around me with equanimity. My eyesight gradually blurred and smeared. Their forms appeared to be melting and merging through a liquid membrane surrounding me as my body was transforming into water. I understood that it was my destiny to turn into the source of the water supply on this island, yet it was still frightening to become a totally strange form. I was imagining the next moment when my water body would be diverged through thousands of narrow water conduits at the same time, with a hidden fear in my mind that might it disappear in a moment.

Art as communication To me, art is communication, winds revealing hidden ruins, streams erasing invisible boundaries and a medium transmitting the waves of the sirens' inaudible songs. As an artist, I accept being an alien staying elsewhere and seeing the world with a fluid identity that allows my work to be a membrane-like channel communicating scenes from the unknown zone.

Piazza for aliens The unknown zone is a piazza for aliens who have been shunned by "normal" communication methods. It is a flux and an in-between space. In Alice in Wonderland , this piazza was created by her tears. The pool of tears is formed by abjection. It exists temporarily in the time domain and it has an elastic size. Here at the piazza of abjection, we meet the Larynxians with spiral larynxes flickering everywhere on its body when it tries to talk and other aliens.

Cyborg communication Their abnormal communication disturbs Alice from the "normal" and "standard" world. As a grotesque body causes a collapse of stationary identity and achieves the power of speech over the state of physical deformation, grotesque communication methods may enlarge the communicative arena by breaking the illusion of "normal" and "standard."   When the grotesque body can evolve into a cyborg as a result of a hybridizing organism, artifacts and organs of transmission, therefore, does the aliens' communication method tend towards a cyborg communication?
