Overview
Jae-Eun Suh is an interdisciplinary new media artist and educator. Her work explores
themes of longing, memory, and embodied experiences. Utilizing a blend of analog methods,
digital imaging, and projection mapping, she specializes in constructing immersive
installations that bridge physical and virtual realities. Born in Austin, Texas, and
raised as a Third Culture Kid across South Korea, France, and the United States, Suh
draws deep inspiration from her multicultural background to examine themes of spatial
presence and displacement.
Suh has taught diverse courses spanning 3D modeling, augmented reality (AR), experimental
animation, digital imaging, and projection mapping for both art and non-art majors.
Her pedagogy integrates traditional and digital methods to build students’ visual,
conceptual, and spatial fluency. Across all classes, she cultivates learning environments
grounded in iteration, reflection, and equitable participation, preparing students
to engage critically with the evolving role of technology in culture.
Her creative research merges video projection, 3D scanning, and AR, frequently expanding
into cross-disciplinary collaborations with contemporary composers, choreographers,
and other practitioners for live intermedia screenings and performance tech. Suh's
projects have been exhibited internationally across the United Kingdom, South Korea,
Greece, Germany, Canada, and the United States, including consecutive artwork selections
for the International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA) in Brisbane (2024) and Dubai
(2026).
Suh has completed residencies at Signal Culture and the I-Park Foundation. She is
a recipient of the 2023 NMC Judson-Morrissey Excellence in New Media Award and an
Arts Council Korea’s APE (Artists, Producers, and Engineers) Camp International Research
Fellowship. Suh holds a BFA in Visual Art Studies and an MFA in Studio Art with a
focus on New Media Art from the University of North Texas.
