Sihyeon Park

Sihyeon Park makes inconvenient tools. With the development of technology, the labor and time to obtain the final results when the users use products/tools is decreasing. For example, you don't have to remember your friend's phone number and dial it. All it takes is a few touches. This means that the distance between the user and the end result is getting more and more closer. But at the same time, he thinks we're losing something.

His tools require more labor and time, unlike the products designed to be a convenient tool. But its end result is very small compared to the effort put on from the user. Also, the user has to work hard to use the technology. These inconvenient steps can let us rethink about our relationship with the world around us, such as the relation between tool/object and body, the complication within capitalism and users, and labor and absurd humor.
