A re­imagined fragment of Choi’s original 2020 installation Where the Heart Goes, Bulletin Board (Rice and Pond) developed in reaction to a random online post soliciting advice for cultivating rice and the multiple interpretations that this simple question prompted by other forum users. The collages and wall installation triggered by this online discussion take shape in a series of reflections about rice and its role in performing Korean identity both online and offline, as well as in multiple forms of diaspora and migration. In Choi’s speculative universe, rice is capable of traversing time and space, becoming a symbol of rooted sociopolitical phenomena and the spatial fluidity of cultural traditions as they transition to a digitized and virtual realm.
