Jiwon Ham is a media artist and interaction designer from South Korea, currently based in Los Angeles. Working across interactive installation, real-time media, and projection mapping, she creates sensory storytelling experiences that examine how our bodies relate to the environments around them. Through research-driven and site-responsive processes, she investigates the emotional effect of frequent relocation, speculation about life in a complete digital environment, the ways to reconstruct demolished urban spaces through memories, and the ways to deepen our relationship to nature.
Ham was a recipient of Processing Foundation’s XR Fellowship (2025), and Fulbright scholar in Design (2018-21). Ham holds an MFA in Art and Technology Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2020). Her work has been presented internationally at festivals such as SIGGRAPH, Ars Electronica, Eastern Bloc, and Kinomural, as well as on public media art platforms in Seoul, including the Gwanghwamun Media Wall and Dongdaemun Design Plaza.
