Tahn

South Korea

Tahn (Taeyoung Ahn) explores the boundaries between tradition and modernity, expressing Korean folk tales, mythology, and philosophical narratives through the medium of contemporary media art. His work delves into the intersection of time and space, humans and nature, tradition and technology, offering viewers innovative visual experiences. By blending elements from the past, present, and future, he creates immersive encounters through two-dimensional paintings, installation media, and interactive art. Tahn's artistic philosophy is rooted in "creating new perspectives by exploring human existence in spaces where the past, present, and future coexist." Through his work, he aims to inspire and resonate with audiences, inviting them to reflect on the interconnectedness of these dimensions.


Media artist based in the UK and Korea, selected as one of the top 50 new media artists in the world at the International New Media Art Festival in Lisbon in 2020, Tahn was selected as an artist for the 170th anniversary exhibition of the Royal West of England Academy in 2023 and the 100th anniversary of Visual art Scotland in 2024.
