Thank you Daniel. I don't have Facebook at the moment but I've checked your Vimeo. Very nice works and I'd love to have an opportunity to see in person. As in my profile, you can see my works on my website: http://www.junginjung.com/interactive-dance. Most of my recent works are on hold due to festival regulations but I hope you like it. I will keep follow up your work. Thank you. Jung In
Hi Daniel, Thank you for your comment. It would be nice to collaborate with you for sure! I will follow up your work and if we happen to be in the same festivals or conferences, let's try to meet up. Best wishes, Jung In.
Thanks for finding me. I ve seen your work and I liked it really much! I have a special interest in old film (8mm,16mm silent BW) and I ve enjoyed a lot the fusion you create, especially with Ato-Mick but also in your kinesthetic signature.
Best, V.
