TZUSOO

TZUSOO is an artist based in Berlin and Seoul and the founder of the studio Princess Computer. Working across the 3D software Blender, installation, and living organisms, TZUSOO creates new life-forms between the digital and the biological. Across TZUSOO’s bodies of work—the Agarmon series, in which living sculptures grow within their own incubators; The Eight Spirits of Flesh, a world-building project on female libido; and Aimy’s Melancholy, a pregnant virtual influencer who anticipated the era of virtual influencers—chimeras recur, fusing the natural and the artificial, the living and the code.

Centered on questions of the body and gender, sexuality, birth and death, these beings evolve alongside TZUSOO’s own narrative of wanting to become a mother. The incubator and data, the computer and the screen, function as a kind of life-support apparatus, worked through a subcultural idiom drawn from the creature-collecting (“-mon”) culture of animation and games. Expanding the fields of bioart and the post-digital within the posthuman condition, the practice reopens the categories of life and kinship as an ethics of care and nurture. TZUSOO studied printmaking and art studies at Hongik University, Seoul (2017), and completed a Diplom in Fine Art at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart (2022), where she teaches. TZUSOO held a solo exhibition at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA), Korea (2025), and served on the jury of Prix Ars Electronica in New Animation Art (2026).
