Poland-Korea Relations is a website/blog art project started by Emil Kozerawski and Hiri Cho, two artists living and working in New York City. Hiri is from Korea and Emil is from Poland. The two artists identify themselves online as EmilHiri.

Both artists work in traditional media as well as web media. Emil is an oil painter, multimedia and video artist. He also does graphic design. Hiri works with etching and photography. She also does dance, performance, and installation.

The two artists decided to do a web project that would be updated daily or almost daily. Initially they started out with a blog but they soon reached the limitations of the format. They found blogs to be too linear and they wanted a format with more overlaps, one where the viewer is presented with different ways of organizing content chronologically and thematically. What they came up with is a high-tech filing mechanism.

EmilHiri also wanted to take advantage of video-streaming and the increasing availability of broadband. Many posts are video posts or are accompanied by video. EmilHiri take videos around NY, they document news, go into galleries and document new art, they document their life and their friends, where they go to eat, and just about everything else there is to do in NY. Sometimes they take time to make informative videos such as one on how to avoid being robbed in Brooklyn. The duo also delves into politics in a way that is very innovative and netroots.
