...Like Clockwork

Blue Desert In Blue Desert, Seoungho Cho transforms a sublime natural landscape into a stunning abstraction through precise electronic manipulation. Writes Cho: "Blue Desert is one in a series of ongoing visual struggles with Death Valley, a specific desert landscape which I have worked with since 1992. It is also not the last piece, as I have every intention to continue producing works about Death Valley. Death Valley has been quite simply my favorite place on the earth since my first visit in 1992."

B1 Seoungho Cho writes: "I received permission to videotape an unknown sannyasi having a siesta as if he were in a deep meditation. Usually we believe that body is the vehicle of soul. I would not know what kind of soul this old, tired and unconsciously open body might suggest. I came to think that what I am searching for is not his soul but mine, which is still as of yet unknown to myself." Special thanks to Unknown Sannyasi at the Shiva Temple in Pokara, Nepal, 2013

Amassed A focused architectural study that evolves into a kaleidoscopic collage. Cho animates and layers richly saturated video frames of interior architectural elements, creating and collapsing geometric forms. Constant camera movements produce a destabilized and abstracted orchestration of images. The first half of the work unfolds in silence, and is then underscored by composer Arvo Pärt's Te Deum, performed by the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and the Tallin Chamber Orchestra.

67/97 67/97 begins by imagining the information collected when a bar code is scanned, and then asks: What if everything could be read by a scanner? What information would be retrieved, what secrets revealed? A barrage of text is generated as a laser reads bar codes and then food, objects, and the body, while the beeps of the scanner create an uncanny soundtrack. Cho employs the technology of scanning to meditate upon the process of information gathering and the construction of meaning. 67/97 is a lyrical and witty investigation of data systems, surveillance and information overload.
