Jung Choi

Her research focuses on the intersection among visual culture, media art, and computational technologies. She is especially interested in how machinic perception and embodied, planetary forms of mediation reconfigure aesthetic experience—how the entanglement of digital systems and human sensoria opens new understandings of depth, worlding, and inter-intelligence. Her teaching interests at Duke Kunshan include critical media theory, art–technology studies, XR/AR practices, and the aesthetics of computational media.

She has published articles, essays, and book chapters in numerous venues, including Media-N, Inter-Asia Cultural Studies, the International Journal of Digital Humanities, and Phaidon’s From Postwar to Contemporary Korean Art (1953–Present)—reviewed by The New York Times—as well as leading journals and edited volumes in art history, digital culture, and media studies.

Choi holds an M.A. in visual culture theory from New York University and a Ph.D. in art history and visual studies from Duke University. She also earned a graduate certificate in Information Science + Studies at Duke, where she received advanced training in digital humanities. She has also served as co-director or PI for major grant-funded initiatives, including a multi-year National Research Foundation of Korea project on Digital Humanities City and several XR/AR public-heritage projects. Prior to joining Duke Kunshan, she worked at internationally recognized institutions such as ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe and Art Center Nabi, contributing to influential media-art exhibitions and digital-humanities research.

Jung Choi的研究聚焦于视觉文化、媒体艺术与计算技术的交叉领域，特别关注机器感知（machinic perception）以及具身化和全球性的媒介形式如何重塑美学体验——即数字系统与人类感官的交织如何打开对深度、世界化（worlding）以及“跨智能”（inter-intelligence）全新理解的可能性。她在昆山杜克大学的教学兴趣包括批判媒体理论、艺术与技术研究、XR/AR 实践以及计算媒体的美学研究。

她已在众多出版物上发表文章、随笔及书籍章节，包括《Media-N》《Inter-Asia Cultural Studies》《国际数字人文学杂志》（International Journal of Digital Humanities），以及由 Phaidon 出版的《从战后到当代韩国艺术（1953年至今）》（From Postwar to Contemporary Korean Art, 1953–Present）——该书曾获《纽约时报》评论。此外，她的研究也刊登于艺术史、数字文化与媒体研究领域的顶尖期刊及编辑卷集中。

Choi 在纽约大学获得视觉文化理论硕士学位（M.A.），并在杜克大学获得艺术史与视觉研究博士学位（Ph.D.）。她还在杜克大学完成了信息科学与研究（Information Science + Studies）的研究生证书课程，接受过数字人文（digital humanities）的高级培训。她曾担任多个主要资助项目的联合主任或首席研究员（PI），其中包括一个由韩国国家研究基金会（National Research Foundation of Korea）资助的多年期“数字人文城市”（Digital Humanities City）项目以及多个 XR/AR 公共文化遗产项目。在加入昆山杜克大学之前，她曾在国际知名机构任职，如德国卡尔斯鲁厄艺术与媒体中心（ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe）和 Art Center Nabi，并在全球具有影响力的媒体艺术展览及数字人文研究项目中发挥了重要作用。
