Seeun Kim

Seeun Kim (b. 1989), who has been exposed to planned cities designed primarily for efficient spatial value, perceives the process by which the leftover space and the structural and visual rules of the planned city create new relationships with the surroundings as an ever-changing action. Recently, she thinks about the indirect experience that can be obtained through different digital platforms which have no physical presence but exist only as phenomena and senses. She positions how these experiences combine with the physical movement in the physical world to diagnose the present, make decisions about the future, and contemplate the direction of visual language.
