Jaeyeon Shin explores the layering of memory and time through installation works utilizing augmented reality, virtual reality, and new media. By combining physical and digital media, she spatially reconstructs personal experiences. With a background in sculpture, Shin constructs her work by connecting the temporality of sculpture with the materiality of the virtual. Her practice spans AR-based sculpture, interactive installations, and custom software, aiming to expand the dimensions of space and time. By dissolving the boundaries between reality and unreality and visualizing memory, her work invites viewers to reinterpret their own memories and temporal experiences.
She graduated from Sunhwa Arts Middle and High School, studied Sculpture and Arts & Cultural Management at Hongik University, and is currently pursuing a master’s degree at the Graduate School of Metaverse at KAIST. At the Future Space Lab, she is conducting research on spatial computing and the design of technologically integrated future environments.
신재연은 증강현실, 가상현실, 뉴미디어를 활용한 설치 작업을 통해 기억과 시간의 중첩을 탐구하며, 물리적·디지털 매체를 결합해 개인적 경험을 공간적으로 재구성한다. 조각을 전공한 그는 조각의 시간성과 가상의 물질성을 연결하는 방식으로 작품을 구성하며, 증강현실 조각, 인터랙티브 설치, 커스텀 소프트웨어 등을 활용해 시공간을 확장한다. 현실과 비현실의 경계를 허물고 기억의 시각화를 시도하는 그의 작업은 관람객이 자신의 기억과 시간을 재해석하도록 유도한다. 선화예술학교, 선화예술고등학교를 졸업하고 홍익대학교에서 조소와 문화예술경영을 공부했으며, 현재 한국과학기술원 메타버스대학원에서 공부하며 Future Space Lab에서 기술을 결합한 미래 공간에 대한 디자인 및 공간 컴퓨팅에 대한 연구를 진행하고 있다.
