Cody Choi (b. 1961, Seoul, Korea) is a visual artist and cultural theorist who has been active since the 1980s, focusing on the exploration of cultural identity and the dynamics of authority in contemporary society. His work delves into themes like cultural confusion, the hybrid nature of third-culture born from the clash of different cultures, and the emergence of new social phenomena experiences he encountered as a foreigner in the United States. 

Choi gained international recognition after showcasing his work in a solo exhibition at Deitch Projects in New York and participating in a group exhibition at the Musée d'Art Contemporain de Marseille in the 1990s. His retrospective, Cody Choi: Culture Cuts, toured Europe between 2015 and 2017, with stops at Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Musée d'Art Contemporain de Marseille, and Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz, organized by art historian John C. Welchman. In 2017, Choi represented Korea at the Venice Biennale’s Korean Pavilion.

In addition to his visual art, Choi has produced works that include critical analyses of contemporary society and culture *The Topography of 20th-Century Culture* (2006) and The Topography of Contemporary Culture (2010), which offer critical analyses of contemporary society and culture. His academic and artistic contributions continue to shape discussions on the complexities of global culture and cultural change.
