In this inspiring conversation with artist Jaehun Park, we explore the dynamic intersection of traditional art, futuristic sculpture, and the rise of AI in creative fields. Jaehun shares his evolution from painter to 3D artist, and how his South Korean military experience influenced his fascination with mechanical and symmetrical forms. His recent shift toward physical sculptures—powered by technologies like 3D printing and parametric design—reflects a deep desire to reintroduce tactility and human touch in an era dominated by screens and automation.
The episode also dives deep into the global implications of AI in art and labor. Jaehun offers a nuanced perspective on how generative tools can empower and threaten creativity at the same time. From Otaku culture to propaganda machines and the philosophical divide between designer and artist, this episode is a goldmine for anyone interested in the future of digital fabrication, cultural symbolism, and the role of artists in our increasingly algorithmic society.
