NYCxDESIGN Emerging Designer Residency

Erika Choe, an interdisciplinary artist, investigates the intersection of technology, bodies and capitalism through various mediums like performance, installation, video, sculpture, and writing. With an MFA from School of Visual Arts and a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies from University of Virginia, her work has been recognized with awards and commissions by NYCxDESIGN, MoMA Design Store, D&AD, ACDA Gala, and ARTSTHREAD. She has also performed in prestigious venues including the Shed, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), and Schrittmaacher Festival in Germany. After years of dancing professionally in NYC and Chicago, and working as strategist & designer for startups and creative agencies, Erika’s practice engages the body as the material to question the impact of technology and capitalism on humanity. Through the lenses of Neimanis’s Hydrofeminism and Haraway’s Posthumanism, Erika seeks to imbue themes of care and soft futures into the work she creates.
