The Art is Alive: an Interview with Yaloo
Multi-disciplinary Korean artist Yaloo visited the Korean Cultural Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada to speak about her work, inspirations, and how evolving technology has changed her life. In the video below she is interviewed by the Ottawa International Animation Festival's Artistic Director Chris Robinson. My apologies for the dim lighting, but it’s worth it to be able to see the artwork clearly!
Even if she wasn’t such an extraordinarily talented visual artist, Yaloo probably still would have captured my heart because she’s so charming and funny (I’m sure you can hear me laughing a bit in the video) and down-to-earth. I didn’t manage to capture the Q&A portion of this presentation (I’m sorry, my arm was tired!) but I can say that she’s also easy to talk to, all bright smiles and patience, which worked out well for me because my question was a little complex (it had to do with haptic VR technology… I won’t bore you here) and she was very sweet when answering.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - I am so grateful to the Korean Cultural Centre of Canada for allowing me opportunities to not only broaden my horizons, but meet incredible people with whom I may otherwise have never crossed paths.
