David Koh is an artist and filmmaker who manipulates digital media to produce expressionist and poetic new media artwork. David is most interested in exploring themes relating to the formation of personal identities and cultural narratives in an internet driven world. He often dwells on the topics of cinema, narrative, identity, and multi-perspective viewing in the network age. David uses a range of digital techniques to create work spanning from digital paintings and video art to mixed reality projects. Born in Singapore and raised in the United States, he currently works and resides in Brooklyn.

The cinema poem series is an exploration in abstracting the forms of cinema and video narrative and reconfiguring them to be more poetic and expressive. The screenplay format is turned into an integral part of the visual experience rather than merely in a supporting role in order to find a space in-between cinematic narrative and poetry. The scripts are written intuitively, and often quickly, before I juxtapose in footage and motion aspects in order to find a more murky, internal, meditative, and ultimately personal form of cinema.
