지하루(Haru Ji)는 트랜스예술가이자 인공생명 세계 만들기(컴퓨터를 이용한 발생예술이자 진화하는 가상생태계의 한 형태)를 통해 예술에서의 생명을 탐구하는 연구자이다. 이번 심포지엄을 통해 그녀의 작품에서 나타나는 발생예술이 게임예술과 어떠한 부분에서 연결성을 가지는지 논의될 예정이다.

Haru Ji is a TransArtist and researcher exploring the subject of life in art through Artificial Life Worldmaking: a form of computational generative art creating and evolving virtual ecosystems as immersive environments. Through this symposium, she will explain the meaning of her work in the way that the part of generative art by interactive points can connect character of game art.

Haru Ji is a TransArtist and researcher exploring the subject of life in art through Artificial Life Worldmaking: a form of computational generative art creating and evolving virtual ecosystems as immersive environments. She holds a Ph.D. in Media Arts & Technology at the University of California Santa Barbara and is an assistant professor of Art & Technology in the School of Consilience at Sogang University in Seoul, Korea. She attained a Master and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Seoul National University, and studied image engineering, computer graphics and 3D animation at Chung-Ang University, both in Seoul, Korea. She has exhibited computational installations, digital sculptures, virtual architecture, video installations, sculptural objects and 3D animations at exhibitions and art festivals worldwide including ISEA, EvoWorkshops, and SIGGRAPH, with corresponding publications. She is a co-creator of the research project and immersive ecosystem "Artificial Nature", exploring the expansion of media art towards ‘art-as- it-could-be’. It is an amalgam of play, research, and art, which raises novel and significant questions regarding the trans-disciplinary interpretation of both subjective beauty and objective truth in art and biology.
