A person moves through a room, and something changes on the surrounding screens. What if familiar web controls were reinterpreted spatially, with the whole body taking the place of a cursor or fingertip?

A toggle is a boolean relation: the body occupies the left or right side of a space. A slider becomes movement along a corridor. A two-dimensional pad becomes movement across a floor. Each change of position alters a surrounding image or projection.

The body acts as a large finger, but the change in scale matters. The participant is no longer outside a small control surface. They inhabit it. Floor-based tracking could make that relationship legible without relying on the familiar spectacle of a responsive wall projection.

For me, multi-device web artwork is ultimately a conversation between a subject and a space. These controls offer a vocabulary for turning virtual relationships into bodily experience.

Jeanyoon Choi

Jeanyoon Choi (b. 1999) is a Korean computational artist and researcher. He designs and researches multi-device web artworks that reflect the complexity of contemporary socio-technological systems, including AI, algorithmic culture, and economic structures. By interconnecting mobile devices and screens, these artworks create provocatively interactive environments. To develop their conceptual foundations, he draws on art, philosophy, and his scientific background, then uses software engineering and design to translate these ideas into interactive experiences.

He holds a BS in Industrial Engineering from Seoul National University and an MA in Information Experience Design from the Royal College of Art, and is currently a PhD candidate at KAIST's Experience Design Lab (XD Lab). He has also taught Computational Design Practices in the Interaction Design Department at K-Arts (Korea National University of Arts). His work has been exhibited internationally at Ars Electronica, Istanbul Digital Arts Festival, IKLECTIK London, Centre Culturel Coréen, and KAIST Art Museum. His papers have been published in the proceedings of ACM DIS and in the Leonardo journal (MIT Press), and he has served as an academic reviewer for ACM TEI, NeurIPS Creative AI, and Digital Creativity.
