Woojin Kim, a visual artist, explores how AI overlooks endangered languages through her art
projects. Her ‘Memories Project’ collects people’s memories related to disappearing languages,
especially in Asia, to highlight the digital exclusion they face. Expanding into the digital realm,
her work examines how limited language diversity in AI and online spaces impacts cultural memory
and identity. Through the work like ‘The Ghost, Sea and Moebius Loop’, she connects these
endangered languages with themes of loss, memory, and digital extinction. Her projects prompt
reflection on how disappearing languages mirror vanishing worlds.
