Seungyon-Seny Lee

As a composer and a teacher in a pedagogical institution, I think it is important to actively support and coordinate artistic and social events. My idea of organizing performance or exhibition is based on 'Arts meets Science and Technology' philosophy, which features interdisciplinary works by each student who devotes to their society to interlock with other academic fields. The experience in electro-acoustic and multimedia composition at CCRMA has reinforced the importance in sound art communication between technology and arts.

At The Korean National University of arts, my teaching experience of the subjects on sound media and performance technique in multimedia composition. Those courses were let students having broad vision and dealing with use of interdisciplinary arts. Demonstrate to the students about the audiovisual materials of current performers and artists in each different fields of art, and support them the concept of the art projects. Also lecturing about historical background in the sound / media / video / performing arts by artists and chorological main issues. For having a discussion session on the topic of participants' presentation, students collaborate an interactive work in the multidisciplinary arts. I also give students knowledge how to links between academic content and development of technology, and between science and sound art content by presenting examples of current works in the world.
