Shin Gyomyung examines the relationships between humans, nature, and technology, focusing on acts of mutual observation and the forms that emerge as these relationships gradually transform. In recent works, he investigates the origins of agency in movement through the processes by which the histories and cultures of Machina Sapiens are generated. He also explores how records and memory are formed, interpreted, and absorbed.
Shin has held solo exhibitions such as Portrait of the Artist: After Lee, Il-O (KT&G Sangsangmadang, 2025), Machina Sapiens (ROY GALLERY, 2024), Lee, Il-O±Gyomyung Shin (Seoul Arts Center,2022). He has showed Machina Sapiens’ performance in KNCDC Dance x Technology Open Week (NTCK's Former Theater in Seogye-dong, 2025) and also participated in group exhibitions such as Unfold X 2025: Let Things Go (Culture Station Seoul 284, 2025), Easter Egg Hunt (Suwon Museum of Art, 2024), Busan MoCA Platform: Ingredients Mining (Busan Museum of Modern Art, 2023).

Residency
2026 Nanji Residency Seoul Museum of Art 20th, Seoul, KR
2025 Youngeun Art Museum Residency 13th Long-term, Gwangju, KR
a residency program operated by the Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA) that was launched in 2006 after remodeling unused facilities in Nanji Hangang Park. Conceived as a means of supporting capable artists and researchers in Korea, the Residency organizes exhibitions such as the 'NANJI ART SHOW' and 'Art Critic Workshop', and runs other programs designed to enhance exhibitions and research capability. It also operates the International Artist Exchange Program to utilize international residency network and multiply exchanges, and hosts lectures in which art experts from Korea and other countries are invited to participate. By 2009, SeMA Nanji Residency had firmly established itself as a creative studio by providing creative spaces and working conditions to domestic young artists. Starting in 2010, it began to take the form of a program by subdividing its activities into ‘exhibition’, ‘research and academics’, and ‘exchange’, and supporting and operating them systematically. Since 2012, it has been developing into an international residential organization by operating various programs.
