Bin Youn is a Korean multimedia artist and educator based in Vietnam, whose practice bridges lens-based media, poetic spatial installation, and participatory environments. Currently serving as an Associate Lecturer teaching imaging in Digital Media, School of Design and Communication at RMIT University Vietnam, Youn explores diasporic identity, otherness, and language through her work. Her practice examines displacement, alienation, and technological intimacy through ephemeral encounters, investigating how alienation itself can become a generative force that creates new forms of connection across species, technological, and cultural boundaries.

Working primarily with photography, spatial video installation, light, and sculptural forms, Youn creates sensory-based moving image installations that invite viewers to navigate spacetime. Her installations explore the invisible interactions between light-forms and space-colors through bodily experience while addressing the ruptures of cultural disparities. She is dedicated to weaving cultural and material narratives into transformative spatial encounters, where the boundaries between self, space, and time are continually reimagined.
