Taeyoon Choi is an artist, educator, curator, and activist whose work explores the intersections of poetry, technology, society, and human relationships. His current research focuses on the history of computing and communications, resource and labor extraction, the politics and culture of industrial production and excess. Through research and artistic practices, he examines how these systems connect to past and present relationships of colonialism and capitalism.

As a visual artist, his work has been presented at both grassroots spaces in North America, Asia and Europe and institutions including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, and MASS MoCA. In ongoning support for and in collaboration with artist communities in South Korea, he runs Forever Gallery in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and since 2024 has been working with the New Suns curatorial team to create opportunities for learning and collaboration.

As an educator, he co-founded the School for Poetic Computation (SFPC) in New York in 2013 — a school, residency, and research organization investigating the intersections of coding and artistic practice. He taught various classes and helped shape the school’s curriculum and community in collaboration with a network of organizers and teachers. Since 2021, the school has become a non-profit organization and is run by a new generation of leaders. Choi currently teaches at Wayne State University in Detroit. He has served on the Board of Advisors of the Processing Foundation, and currently serves on the Board of Strategy of AFIELD, an international network of artist-led systems change.
