This panel will present and discuss bilingual and intercultural experiences between English and Korean as experiential visual dialects. It articulates new visual narratives from intercultural perspectives. It employs the Hangul alphabet, an English typeface designed using Korean consonants and vowels for a translingual experience. It is multidisciplinary visual research using diverse mediums, from typeface design, woodworking, digital art, and 3D printing to game performance. Each medium delivers intercultural experiences as impressionistic, narrative, tactile, and playable. It will suggest the new dimensional visual narrative and function from conventional to contemporary mediums with the latest technology.
