Biography:
Arlene Sun’s artistic practice unfolds across three interconnected yet distinct dimensions each a unique exploration of emotion, technology, and narrative. Through IP based therapeutic art, interactive physical installations, and AIGC driven visual storytelling, she creates immersive worlds that reflect on inner life, embodied experience, and digital futures.
In the MOOD Art Healing Series, she builds an expansive IP ecosystem that transforms abstract emotions into tangible visual characters and soothing environments. More than aesthetic expression, this series acts as a gentle intervention using color, form, and interaction to guide viewers toward self-awareness, acceptance, and emotional repair, turning art into a quiet space for inner dialogue.
With GOOD AS GOLD Interactive Art Installation, Arlene shifts toward a poetic inquiry into materiality and perception. Using “gold” as a metaphor, she examines the fluidity of value, memory, and time within technological contexts. The viewer’s movement, touch, or voice often activates the work, generating real time feedback of light, shadow, or data co-creating a contemporary ritual of permanence and ephemerality.
Her newest venture, Electric Jungle AIGC Visual Narrative, embraces the creative potential of artificial intelligence. Here, she cultivates a dense, hybrid ecosystem where the digital and the organic intertwine. Beyond stylistic experimentation, this series reimagines storytelling itself collaborating with algorithms to dissolve linear plots and generate new mythologies rich with metaphor and open ended meaning.
