CV

Jaehoon Choi is a sound artist, computer musician, and a scholar. His practice centers on creating novel musical instruments using DIY software, hardware, and diverse materials. This process entails creating the instrument from scratch while exploring its functionality, operation, and the unique artistic affordance and/or musicality it embodies—blurring the line between the luthiery and the artistic creation. In this context, the instrument transcends its role as a mere functional device, becoming a complex assemblage of epistemological and cultural dynamics expressed through materiality.

He has been selected for various residencies and awards including Djerassi Resident Artists Program, NEW INC, Squeaky Wheel Workspace Residency, Biennale College Musica, Zer01ne and etc. His works were presented at La Biennale di Venezia 2023 - 67th International Festival of Contemporary Music, NEW INC DEMODAY, Fabrica, MATA Festival, SEAMUS, San Francisco Tape Music Festival, Routledge, NIME, ICMC, ECHO Journal, ZER01NE Day, and etc.

He is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Electronic Arts at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and graduated from Stanford University’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) as a Masters.
