Choreographing the Mind : An interview with Chaewon Hyun

At the crossroads of dance, neuroscience, media, and AI, a new language of innovation emerges.

Q & A Interview

• Q. You combine dance, neuroscience, media, and AI. Why such an unusal mix?

"Dance is the body's language. Neuroscience decodes it, media shares it, and AI expands it."

For me, dance has always been more than art. Every movement carries signals about how we think and feel. Neuroscience helps decode those signals, media allows us to tell their stories, and AI opens new horizons of creation.

• Q. Many people say, ‘Pick one field and master it.’ Why did you choose integration instead?

“The future lies not in walls, but in bridges.”

I grew up moving between labs and dance studios, between logic and intuition. I realized I didn’t want to abandon one side for the other. Integration is my way of creating something new.

• Q. What kind of cultural impact do you hope your research will have?

“Innovation can be warm, human, and healing.”

Technology often feels cold, but when combined with art and movement, it becomes deeply human. I hope my work inspires people, supports mental well-being, and makes them feel more connected—to themselves and to each other.
