Jeffrey Yoo Warren is a Korean American artist, educator, and researcher. His work focuses on creating collaborative community projects that democratize and decentralize common modes of information production.

Early life and education

edit

Warren grew up in the Union Square neighborhood in Somerville, MA, in close proximity to many Korean American businesses and the Boston Chinatown.[1]

He graduated in 2006 from Yale University with a BA in Architecture. In 2010, he completed a Masters of Science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During his academic studies, he also worked with artist Natalie Jeremijenko.[2]

His master's thesis[3] is about grassroots mapping, community-lead efforts to collect and interpret map data for rural and inaccessible areas to highlight the empowering role of geographical information. Case studies in the thesis include documentation of unofficial suburbs of Lima, Peru and the 2010 BP oil spill.

In 2010, he co-founded the Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science (Public Lab).[4] Some of his projects in association with Public Lab include Grassroots Mapping,[5] vector-mapping framework Cartagen, orthorectification tool MapKnitter, and open spectral database and toolkit Spectral Workbench.[6] In 2020, after 10 years as Director of Research for Public Lab, he stepped down from his role.

Beginning in 2014, Warren served on the board of the Open Source Hardware Association.[7]

He has worked closely with many local New England community education programs, such as Parts and Crafts, AS220, and Movement Education Outdoors.[8]

Seeing Lost Enclaves

edit

In 2023, Warren was appointed the Library of Congress' 2023 Innovator in Residence.[9] Seeing Lost Enclaves expands on a previous project, Seeing Providence's Chinatown.[10] Using the Library's archival collection of photographs and records, he digitally reconstructed "memories" of historical minority groups across America, with a particular focus on erased Asian American histories.
