Chelsea Kim is a media artist working with digital visuals and interactivity to examine how social, political, and material systems shape human relations and perception. Through her works, Kim transforms data, history, and emotion into experiential encounters that make structural realities perceptible and open to reflection. Her ongoing inquiry lies in how technology mediates our understanding of reality, and how digital forms can reveal the invisible forces that govern everyday life.
