Her practice explores how the process of how human beings perceive and internalise the world we live in can be visualised and communicated. She investigates these through process-led drawing and digital production.She explores a variety of automatic processes, viewing them as a systematic interplay and embracing unpredictability. This exploration of unpredictability extends from traditional hand drawing, slit scans to AI Generation and digital collage.Jayoon obtained an MA at the Royal College of Art. Her work has been exhibited and featured by VIDAK, Guardian, Jealous Gallery, South Kiosk, Light Up Lancaster, Women of Silicon Roundabout and Illustrating Mental Health Symposium. Marius Simkus, a BA Visual Arts graduate, entered the creative industry as a graphic and motion designer, bringing expertise in moving image, animation, and graphic design. His passion for experimenting with digital media and creative technology has led to a multidisciplinary skillset that spans virtual and augmented reality, creative coding, physical computing, and digital fabrication. Marius currently works as a Teaching and Learning Technician with the Illustration program at Camberwell, where he continues to explore innovative approaches to art and design. John Inch is an Animation graduate, who has worked on postproduction VFX for movies, a field where cutting-edge technology has always played a vital role. In recent years, John’s interests have shifted to the innovative world of small team collaboration through independent game design. Here John can explore his passion for character design, storytelling, animation, sound and a multitude of art styles freely. His most recent project was Bafta Longlisted. John also works as a Teaching and Learning Technician Program at Camberwell and is both intrigued and troubled by the recent innovations in AI, especially when it comes to imagegeneration and movement, and how these advances might impact aspiring creatives just beginning their arts journey.
