Lee Sangbong creates installations that translate imperceptible technological phenomena—such as radio waves, communication signals, and data storage—into sensory experience. His works employ media like lasers, motors, antennas, and speakers to render the artificial agents that permeate our environment perceptible to human senses. Through these installations, he invites viewers to recognize the gap between their conceptual worlds and the physical reality, provoking awareness of the invisible technological ecologies that surround us.

Lee Sangbong observes how human-made objects and environments have generated new layers of reality—ones that profoundly affect our daily lives while remaining beyond the reach of our sensory perception. He is particularly interested in the way these entities manifest to us as immense bodies of data rather than as tangible forms. His current research explores how such non-physical data might be brought into the realm of sensory experience, seeking methods to translate the unseen and intangible into perceptible presence.
