Yehwan Song

b.1995
Based in Seoul, KR

송예환은 1995년 서울 출생으로 서울을 기반으로 활동하는 웹 아티스트이자 디자이너입니다. 작가는 사용자 경험을 지나치게 단순화하는 웹 디자인이나 인터페이스 규범에 의문을 던집니다. 사용자 친화성 보다는 흥미로움, 다양성, 확장 가능성에 주안점을 둔 웹사이트와 도구를 만들고 있습니다.

Yehwan Song was born in Seoul in 1995 and is a Seoul-based artist and designer questioning standardized design and interface conventions that frame users’ behavior and the templates that make them lose their content awareness and become accustomed to oversimplification. She constructs outside-the-frame devices and interfaces in order to challenge the notion of user-friendliness. She pursues diversity instead of consistency and respects variety in the web environment above efficiency.
