BIO
Donghan Kim (b.1997, Seoul) is a media artist whose practice delves into electronic, physical, and conceptual processes of transition and reconfiguration.
He earned a B.A. in Sound Engineering from Korea University of Media Arts and is currently pursuing an M.F.A. in Convergent Art & Design at Seoul Media Graduate School University.
Kim deconstructs and reorders the perceptual structures of reality through sound, light, space, code, and object. Identifying himself as both an "editor" and a "reformer," he designs channels that traverse sensory thresholds.
His work takes the form of audiovisual pieces, interactive objects, sound installations, and real-time simulations. He embraces friction—between technologies and perception, between malfunction and embodiment—as aesthetic material. His practice intervenes in the audience’s perception, challenging their habitual sense of time and identity.
Artist Statement
My work is driven by a focus on sensory and conceptual transformation—not as a static change, but as a continuous condition of modulation, transference, and reassembly.
Perception, emotion, and relationality are never fixed. I disassemble these perceptual constructs and re-edit them through nonlinear systems to explore the possibility of trans-sensory translation.
Through the interaction of sound, visuals, spatial elements, and algorithmic computation, meanings are constantly renegotiated.
Because our senses are inherently unshareable, communication always fails to be complete. But that failure is not a dead-end—it is a space where new medial languages can emerge.
My works function as devices for such misalignments and discrepancies—open frameworks that welcome interpretation, resistance, distortion, and misreading.
