September 5, 2019 Inspired by Indian Ragas, an Installation of Sound and Light Heightens the Senses "At the MELA Foundation Dream House, Jung Hee Choi’s Ahata Anahata, Manifest Unmanifest XI seduces, disorients, and transforms."

October 5, 2017 Art Agenda: Ahata Anahata, Manifest Unmanifest VII From Art Agenda's press release announcing Choi's 2013 MELA Foundation installation: “I found Jung Hee Choi’s installation Ahata Anahata, Manifest Unmanifest moving and engrossing… the effect of [Choi's] work is mesmerizing. I believe that this use of drawing with the moving light projections of her video works represents a new and original direction in art today.” –Jon Hendricks, Silverman Fluxus Collection August 8, 2013 SOUND: A Basis for Universal Structure In this essay, Jung Hee Choi presents her formulation of Sound, drawing on souces as seemingly disparate as the Pythagorean model of the solar system and modern String theory. See the following excerpt from the Introduction: "Throughout the early civilizations of India, China, Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece, it was pervasive that number, geometry, astronomy and music were considered four forms of a single concept of proportions. The study of number in itself was arithmetic, in space it was geometry, in time it was music, and the study of space and time was astronomy. These cultures and traditions all recognized music (sound or vibrational patterns) as a foundation that could provide a cosmological synthesis. In this line of thought, the connection between physical reality and metaphysical principles can be reconstructed and directly experienced in music."
