Lisa Park (born 1987[ citation needed ]) is a Korean-American artist and lecturer in the Fine Arts & Design department of the Stuart Weitzman School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania.
Lisa Park was born in Boston, United States, but spent her formative years being raised in Seoul, South Korea.[ citation needed ] She earned her BFA degree from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.[ citation needed ] Additionally, she holds a MPS degree from the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at the New York University Tisch School of the Arts.[ citation needed ]
Her works include "Eunoia" and "Eunoia II," which are interactive installation and performance pieces where the artist utilizes a brainwave sensor to visualize real-time pools of water based on her thoughts.
Park "has been working with biofeedback devices (heart rate sensors, commercial brainwave headsets) to display auditory and visual representations of physiological measurements. These performances explored the possibilities of self-monitoring her physical and psychological states." [1] This was done by using electroencephalography (E.E.G.) data to create sound-waves which were pushed through pools of water, causing them to ripple. Park sat in the center of the pools as this occurred. [2]
For Eunoia, Park separated the E.E.G. data into five emotions, each of which fed into one of five pools of water. For Eunoia II, she expanded her conception of brain activity to cover forty-eight pools of water, matching the forty-eight emotions described by philosopher Baruch Spinoza. [3] While Park strove to control her emotions in Eunoia in order to keep the pools of water still, she changed her approach in Eunoia II to focus on expressing emotions. [4]
Another installation piece, titled "Blooming," was commissioned by Nokia Bell Labs and supported by New Museum's NEW INC. This interactive audiovisual installation features a life-sized digital cherry blossom tree that blossoms in real-time in response to participants' skin-to-skin contact.[ citation needed ]
