Biography
Doo-Sung Yoo is a new media artist from Seoul, South Korea. He explores hybrid art, synthesizing scientific research within artwork and interweaving interdisciplinary media between different professional fields, which find and discover the aesthetic possibilities for new art form. His current focuses are on surpassing the human body form and its biological limitations with technological augmentations, which are illustrated in his ongoing project series, the Organ-Machine Hybrids, in which disembodied animal organs are combined with electronic devices within mechanical bodies and the human body.
