“Big Time Dreaming in the Age of Uncertainty: An Artist Experience with JooYoung Choi”

Inspired by my favorite late night talk show hosts, I’ve created a very special video art experience for all to enjoy. Together we will explore what it means to keep on: Big Time Dreaming in the Age of Uncertainty. I will share about my own life as a Korean adoptee, my reunion, and how art and world building has played a significant role in my journey of becoming who I am today. Because of the pandemic, I have cast approximately 50 puppets, animated friends, and volunteer actor friends to be dance partners, band members, co-hosts and audience members in this unusually fun and vibrant artist talk/experience. Friends from my home town contributed their vocal talents, and my birth family also stars in this video project in their own special way. I will also share with you editions of video art that is usually only seen in museums and art spaces, and a preview of my storyboard animatic for my feature film project Spectra Force Vive: Infinite Pie Delivery Service.
