Jeon Beong Sam is a South Korean artist who works primarily with everyday objects and images.
Employing strategic processes of appropriation, repetition, and rearrangement to large quantities of data (both digital and physical), he revisits the social conventions hidden within and transforms them into meaningful artwork that traverse the two-dimensional and three-dimensional.
Jeon was trained in Sculpture at Hongik University, Korea. He holds two master’s degree, one in Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and another in Information and Computer Science from the University of California, Irvine. For the past fifteen years, his artworks have been featured internationally, including: UNESCO (France); SIAF (Japan); SIGGRAPH (USA); ISIMD (Turkey); AsiaGraph (China); ArtBots (Ireland); Salon (Cuba); LIFE (Russia); Netfilmmakers (Denmark); Siggraph ASIA (Singapore), amongst others.
