Suk Kyoung Choi is a Korean artist and researcher working in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. She is currently a PhD candidate at the School of Interactive Arts and Technology at Simon Fraser University and a member of iViz lab (ivizlab.sfu.ca) with PI Dr. Steve DiPaola. Choi’s research examines conceptual metaphor in pragmatic praxis to study the nature of embodied transformations between experience and knowledge. Suk Kyoung explores the phenomenology of creative process to extend knowledge of human factors informing the development of collaborative artificially intelligent technologies supporting human expression. Artistic painting offers access to transitional states existing at the interstices of expression and reflection. It is the translation of this tacit knowledge embodied in artistic practice and expressed through creative inquiry that she identifies as essential to future advances in affective technologies modeling human creativity. Her guiding research questions are therefore motivated by such critical issues as computational access to the pre-conceptual 'mental image', what factors and schema give rise to expressive acts, and how these questions inform learning strategies in an increasingly digital culture.

Her artwork has been shown in Seoul, London, Calgary, Chicago, Vancouver, and Berlin.
