Jinu Hong is a graphic designer, video/image maker and educator currently based in New York. As a graphic designer, he pushes back continuously to create the antithesis of the time where our daily experiences are framed into seamless and streamlined communication accomplished by the whole world view of engineers. He has been very much interested in physical intervention and connection taking place in the spur of the moment under certain instruction. He has also been exploring how graphic design physically and psychologically influences the way people interact with a place. He currently works independently with architects and artists on prints, videos, websites and exhibitions. As well as working as a digital content manager at Center for Collaborative Arts and Media, he teaches at Parsons School of Design. He holds an MFA in Graphic Design from Yale School of Art, US. Hong had an exhibition at Art Council Norway, Portable Museum Project, 401 Seoul, and Yale University Art Gallery. His works are permanently collected at Haas Art Library and Yale Health.
