a.k.a Jeon Hess, 전혜성

Hess(1991) is an object-oriented artist and designer from South Korea.
With a focus on modern machines and their influence on current cultures and communities, he likes to dabble with speculative designs supported by artistic research and playful reasoning.
Having studied Industrial Design(BDes) at NCAD Dublin and Interface Culture(MA) at Kunstuniversität Linz, he is currently undergoing PhD studies in Linz, Austria.

Here’s a short but evolving list of occupations I’ve taken besides those of artistic nature:
– Project Director @ Ars Electronica Festival (Kunstuniversität Linz, Austria)
– Museum Caretaker (St.Florian Monastry & Schlossmuseum Peuerbach, Austria)
– Motor Service Technician (Harley Davidson Korea)
– Military Translator (R.O.K.A)
– Cat Cafe Barista (Daejeon, Korea)
– Funeral Directing and Embalming (Death Care Academy Ireland)
– Handmade Furniture Design (Tinto Muebles, Yecla, Spain)
– Sous Chef (Dublin, Ireland)
