Pulsating Future Clouds
Dasul Kim Generative Media Art LabMedia Art | 00:03:00 (10min 23sec) | 2025
This work is a new installment in the 'Future Cloud' series, which imagines and explores a sustainable future. It combines the latest private AI models with traditional digital media. In the piece, the vertically ascending beams of light serve as symbols of the city and technology, as well as gateways to transformation. The pulsing of these beams, echoing the rhythm of a human heartbeat, intertwines anticipation and anxiety, joy and tension, accompanied by a rhythmic soundscape. The rhythm unfolds as a dynamic kaleidoscope, metaphorically suggesting landscapes of a new dimension yet to come.
Dasul Kim is a media artist who uses new media such as AI, augmented reality, generative and interactive art, and game art to portray human ecosystems projected onto non-human subjects, offering expanded interpretations of the body, identity, material and immaterial, technology, and existence. Grounded in Korean traditions and culture as well as Eastern philosophy, her work unfolds with a personal intimacy towards the digital, presenting a post-humanist approach to virtual presence and digital oceanic feeling. Her works have been exhibited in South Korea at venues including Platform L, Museum San, Post Territory Ujeongguk, Osisun, COEX, and KINTEX. In the U.S., her work has been displayed at Supercollider Gallery, Oxy Arts, New Wight Gallery, and Art Mora Gallery. She has won awards in quantum art and AI art competitions.
