Hyunjin Park’s exhibition Jump! transforms the Sunroom into a dog agility course centered on the jump, an obstacle that builds confidence, trust, and communication between dog and handler. Following the loss of her canine companion PoPo, Park adopted an AI-powered robotic dog that she named Echo and began agility training to develop a new form of interspecies connection. While jumping comes naturally to a dog, it exposes the limits of a mechanical body, prompting Park to reimagine the jump as a gesture of aspiration, vulnerability, and the desire to transcend physical constraints. Through sculpture, video, and installation, the exhibition brings together hybrid forms that merge plant, animal, machine, and agility equipment, inviting visitors to navigate shifting boundaries between the living and the technological. Through these encounters, Park explores the intersection of human creativity and machine intelligence, linking technological innovation with latent animal desire to contemplate forms of connection across the divide between living and non-living entities.
