Heya, World!

I'm Heya 해나 Kwon. I am a Korean American artist, designer, and researcher working across sound, new media, and participatory practices.

My current artistic research examines the psychological, material, and ecological conditions of media and data infrastsructures with a focus on exhaustion. A question I've been asking is: how can we live with slowness, playfulness, and care in our current extractive and accelerationist regimes? How can art and technology help in figuring that out?

Currently, I am studying New Media in Espoo, Finland. Before that, I lived in California and worked as a software engineer at Bandcamp. Before that, I lived as an artist, mainly as a music producer, while working in the service industry.

On my free time, I like to draw, vlog, read, and journal.
