CV
Kiryung Arrddon Nam
Media Artist & Interaction Designer & Creative Learning Researcher

About

Arrddon is a media artist, interaction designer, and creative learning researcher working at the intersection of art, technology, and human experience. His practice explores collective imagination by treating society and community as the material of his work. He draws out unexpected interactions and sensorial experiences, focusing on the resonances that emerge between people. Extending this approach, he develops workshops and collaborative systems as artistic practices that explore how collective creativity can shape new forms of learning and connection.

He studied Arts Management at Korea National University of Arts (K-Arts) and founded the artist collective <Rigidbody>, facilitating participatory workshops and collaborative creation. As an Adjunct Professor at K-Arts, he researched art–technology convergence and creative learning environments. He is currently pursuing an MA in Information Experience Design at the Royal College of Art, London, and leads research at the Center for Creative Intelligence Design(CCID) in Seoul, focusing on generative AI, interaction design, and prototyping for innovation projects.
