I see something holy, an icon, temple architecture, or religious practices, and I cannot understand why these things are sacred instead of mundane. In order to understand them, I have to dissect them and rearrange them, often finding something new.”

Together, they convey an effort to be grounded in his ancestral roots in the face of growing uncertainty.
Jane Tao
“Over and Over”
Jane Tao is a new media artist and 3D artist based in Seoul, Korea and Chicago, USA. Through her experience in graphic design from Duksung Women’s University in the Republic of Korea, she developed a practice of experimenting with various mediums of art pieces at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago(SAIC) in the Film & New Media, and Art & Technology Studies. As her philosophy of art is to convey emotions and thoughts that people did not know or forgot, giving them a chance to think about them again to face the reality. She provides new directions for overcoming those by breaking the existing visual and conceptual frame of a story fusing virtual and real space with various techniques. She is inspired by the religious content and stories of people around her but focuses on having a dualistic meaning among lessons, religion, and reality, rather than a fragmentary meaning. Currently, she develops a body of 3d digital art that can interact with people and use both virtual and real space such as site-specific works, immersive art, and XR performance.
