Digital Decade SE 2020: Krista Kim

Krista Kim is a contemporary artist and founder of the Techism movement since 2014, promoting the confluence of art and technology, and technological innovation as a medium to further the development of digital humanism. She believes that artists must participate at the vanguard of technological innovation in order to contribute to the creation of future culture during this pivotal period of innovation and disruption.

Forbes described Krista Kim as the “new digital Rothko”, and she was recently chosen by LANVIN to collaborate on their fall/winter collection 2018 with Olivier Lapidus, Creative Director. Kim was the first artist in history to exhibit on the iconic square of Palais de Tokyo Museum and the Museum of Modern art of Paris for Nuit Blanche 2018. Kim earned her Masters of Arts Fine Arts from LASALLE College of the Arts / Goldsmiths, University of London in 2014. She completed her undergraduate studies in Political Science at the University of Toronto.

Krista was a keynote speaker for “Art for Healing” during Paris Healthcare Week 2018 for UIA - PHG, one of the working bodies of the UIA, the Union International des Architects or International Union of Architects, with members from all continents and a growing participation from more than 60 countries since 2012.

“Meditation will save us from the machine; art will save us from ourselves. I believe in the healing and transformational power of visual art + sound + meditation on an individual and a social level. 
Our future is unknown and unstable.  There are difficult times ahead due to social and economic unrest due to pandemic risk, digital disruption, automation and climate change.   Collective fear is undeniable, but we cannot allow ourselves to be dominated by fear — we must face the unknown with open hearts and mindfulness.  In chaos, there is creative opportunity.  We must create a better future with compassion and love. 
My collaboration with Efren Mur (video artist) and Ligovskoï (electronic music band) was created during the COVID-19 crisis.  Our purpose is to present a vision of meditativeness and digital beauty to collective consciousness.  The world is forever changed, and we must adapt with mindfulness, self care and connection to creative energy that will help us navigate the unknown.”
