Jinjoon Lee FRSA (이진준 born in Masan, South Korea) is a professor, creative director and new media artist exploring the perception of utopian space ideologies with new technologies. After graduating from Seoul National University in Seoul, he went on to study Moving Image (Jane and Louise Wilson) and Design Interaction (Anthony Dunne) at the Royal College of Art in London, and the doctorate degree of philosophy in the Ruskin School of Fine Art, University of Oxford. His doctoral thesis was titled Empty Garden: A Liminoid Journey to Nowhere in Somewhere (2020), which manifested as a 10-meter-long scroll that mixes East Asian garden aesthetics with existentialism, poetry and autoethnographic research.
