Media artist Lee Jeong-Min uses the presentation software Microsoft PowerPoint to create her works. The objects in her pieces move at different speeds through the use of PowerPoint animation effects. Lee explains that her work expresses relativity, a concept that the speed of objects and time is perceived differently depending on a person\u2019s own movement or psychological state.<\/p>\n

After receiving Bachelor\u2019s and Master’s degrees at Hongik University Sculpture Department, Lee\u2019s unique use of PowerPoint and creative portfolio garnered the art world\u2019s attention. Starting from a solo exhibition \u201cIn and Around\u201d at the Kumho Museum of Art and continuing on with the Sochi Pyeongchang House at the 2018 Winter Olympics, the SKT Tower Media Fa\u00e7ade, and more, her works continuously gains huge interest. She also received significant recognition in the arts and culture sphere for her collaboration exhibitions with prominent institutions such as the Gyeonggi Museum of Art, Daejeon Museum of Art, Sungkok Art Museum and more.<\/p>\n

PowerPoint is Lee\u2019s trademark. While Lee could use fancier and easier video production programs such as Flash or Aftereffects, she chose the more \u201cinconvenient\u201d PowerPoint to better express her artistic intentions. She states that \u201cother video programs allow one to control animation speeds precisely with numerical inputs. PowerPoint, on the other hand,\u00a0only has five settings for speed, from \u2018very fast\u2019 to \u2018very slow.\u2019 As the way people perceive and express speed is very much subjective, relative and vague, PowerPoint is a perfect means to convey this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lee is presenting her piece \u201cCollected Time_Hangang\u201d as part of the Kiaf SEOUL 2023 HIGHLIGHT. For this piece, Lee took elements she observed while walking near the Han River and adjusted them to unrealistic sizes, after which she set each element to move at a different speed, enabling her to express the coexistence of different temporal elements in more detail and depth.<\/p>\n

While Lee has been dubbed a \u201csuccessful young artist,\u201d she states that she is still \u201cbattling the limitations.\u201d She added on, stating \u201cI worry that I\u2019m repeating myself, the style I\u2019ve built so far. However ironically, the constant awareness of my limitations actually serves as my motivation to keep creating art and gives me the energy to continuously experiment with new things.\u201d<\/p>\n

True to her words, Lee is constantly trying new things. She recently expanded her repertoire with an interactive installation piece, which changes with the movements of the viewers. The centerpiece was \u201cFan,\u201d a work showing the image of a ventilation fan. The closer one gets to the piece, the faster the fan spins, allowing viewers to experience the relative flow of time. Lee stated, \u201cI\u2019m very interested in delving more into 3D and interactive work.\u201d<\/p>\n
