Ryu Jongdae

Ryu Jong-dae is a Seoul-based artist whose practice explores the intersection of material, craft, and digital technology. Working within the conceptual framework of Digital Craft / Digital Heritage, he investigates how material memory, traditional sensibilities, and evolving technological processes can be translated into contemporary sculptural language. His work is grounded in material-driven inquiry, where objects, surfaces, and architectural references are reconfigured through digital fabrication techniques, including 3D printing and computational modeling. Rather than pursuing preservation, Ryu's practice emphasizes transformation — a dialogue between hand, machine, and material across time.
