Inhwa Yeom (she/her) is a media artist and founder of 바이오브 𝑩𝒊𝑶𝑽𝑬 (https://biove.io), a biotech and art startup. She designs, develops, and evaluates XR and AI-powered interactive systems that aim to enhance the accessibility in 1) medical, rehabilitative, and therapeutic experiences, and 2) collaborative expression and self-directed learning. Her proposed systems were presented and/or published in Nature Medicine Conference & Scientific Reports, Springer, IEEE VR, and other clinical/computer science journals/conferences. As 2020 Fellow of Processing Foundation, she has also materialized her works as lectures and workshops, and open source contributions.

As a media artist, Yeom creates “3D performative apparatus-environment”. Her media leverages bio-inspired XR and AI technologies, and performing arts to include a diverse range of (non-)human behaviors, reactions and expressions. With this, she aims to create a stage for ‘minorities’ constructed in the history of cloud computing- and biotech-oriented labor systems, and biocolonialism. Yeom also explores the notions of ‘performativity’ empowered with the cognitive, psychological, and physical participation of audience-performers; of ‘inter-performativity’ that interoperates across the audience-performers and apparatus-environment.

Her creations were exhibited or performed at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) Korea, Ars Electronica Festival, National Asian Culture Center (ACC), Daejeon Museum of Art, Nam June Paik Art Center, LG Arts Center, SIGGRAPH Asia, and more. She is also a finalist of the 6th VH Award (2025) of Hyundai Motor Company, and a recipient of Media Artist Award (2024) by LG Arts Center & LG Electronics.
