Sharing Turtle I 2018 - Current
A series of multimodal projects with libi rose striegl
Projects by sharing turtle, 2018 - ongoing
sharing turtle is the brainchild of art-trepreneurs Laura Kim and libi rose. With a thoughtful yet irreverent attitude towards the modern cyborgian state, Laura and libi interrogate the fragile balances maintaining symbiotic human-tech relationships and investigate human and computational behavior. Incorporating critique and interpretations of contemporary thinkers, modern scientific and technological advancements, and engaging with the vast potential of the post-digital art world, their collaborative work embraces (departs from?! And defies?) both the cynical and the hopeful.
Disrupting and reimagining technology-driven modern lifestyles through subversive satirical humor and multifaceted means of creative expression, the collaborative duo’s culminating projects challenge conversations around the Next Big Thing and intends to add a humanistic touch and dosage of sincere awareness to the hype fused technocultural landscape.

Floating in the Ether, the artist’s imagination occasionally has no choice: it must ground itself in reality. But what is reality in a world where an individual’s perception, consciousness, awareness and overall sensibility is constantly being challenged by the “datafication” of experience? Once upon a time, artists may have had the luxury of intentionally isolating themselves from the revolution of everyday life. This is no longer possible. In fact, as aspirational and critical media artists, MALK (featuring Mark Amerika and Laura Hyunjhee Kim) aims to create artworks that embrace 21st century media as transformational composition and distribution tools for their digital art work while simultaneously intervening in the technical environment of global capitalism and its analytically-driven, market-manipulated big data environment. |

#2 Remixing Persona: An Imaginary Digital Media Object from the Onto-Tales of the Digital Afterlife

#2 Remixing Persona: An Imaginary Digital Media Object from the Onto-Tales of the Digital Afterlife
(E-Book, 2019)
|
A hyperimprovisational realtime documentation of the artist as the semblance of an auto-affective event constructing on-the-fly stories composed in asynchronous realtime and through various theoretical and performative filters. Remixing Persona: An Imaginary Digital Media Object from the Onto-Tales of the Digital Afterlife is a visual manifesto that doubles as a theoretical e-reader, one that the artists collaboratively generate by deploying parallel processes of persona-building, performance-thinking, and applied remixology. Both artists, individually and as a performance duo, bring their own unique experiences and ontologically filtered “ways of remixing” to their intermedia practice and pseudo-autobiographical inquiries. |

Promontory Project: A Case Study I 2018
Partial NEST grant awardee for project in collaboration with human-computer interaction researcher Jen Liu
Promontory Project: A Case Study on the Annihilation of Time and Space is a joint collaboration between multimedia artist Laura Hyunjhee Kim and human-computer interaction researcher Jen Liu that re-examines the visual, cultural, and social history of the technological wild west. Golden Spike National Historic Site, located in Promontory Summit, marks the point where the Transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869. Bridging the American East and West Coast across mountains, prairies, deserts and forest, this railroad marks an “annihilation of space and time,” a popular catchphrase from the 19th century used to describe how new communication and transportation technologies, such as the railway and telegraph, can rapidly influence a society.
