Lisa Park (artist)
Lisa Park is an interdisciplinary artist living in New York City and Seoul, South Korea.
Career
Park's work explores visualizing emotional states and the subconscious. In Eunoia and Eunoia II, she controlled pools of water with her brainwaves. This was accomplished by having electroencephalography (EEG) data to create sound waves which were pushed through pools of water, causing them to ripple. The artist sat in the center of the pools as this occurred.[1] For Eunoia, Park separated the EEG data into five emotions, each of which fed into one of five pools of water. For Eunoia II, she expanded her conception of brain activity to cover 48 pools of water, matching the 48 emotions described by philosopher Baruch Spinoza.[2] Also, while Park strove to control her emotions in Eunoia in order to keep the pools of water still, she changed her approach in Eunoia II to focus on expressing emotions.[3]
She collaborated with fellow student Adria Navarro to create "I Wish I Said Hello," a work that used physical locations mentioned in classifieds such as Craigslist to map out places where people missed connecting with one another.[4]
Awards and fellowships
Park is a member of NEW INC at the New Museum and is the recipient of a 2014 New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship. She has also been chosen as a collaborator with the Marina Abromovic Institute.
