AltSpaceVR: Scenes and Screens Festival, Online
New Order Of Being (N.O.O.B.) (project through SEICA Human Interaction Labs) will be virtually screened at AltSpaceVR's Scenes and Screens Festival "Hyperconnect".
Though "Hyperconnect" is commonly used to describe what we consider to be intermachine communication, it can also be used to describe a state of interpersonal and human-to-machine interaction as well. Alternatively, hyperconnectivity is used as a medical term to describe a rapid firing of neurons making excessive connections within the brain. The Scenes and Screens Festival committee considers the impact of all existing connections in our society, both organic and digital. Some ideas include but are not limited to the following topics: attention mining, artificial intelligence, biological enhancement, fractured identities, organism vs machine, and technological singularity. (6/4/2018 - 6/10/2018)

Silicon Flatirons Conference Panel
"Section 512 Safe Harbor: Challenges and Opportunities in User-Generated Content", Colorado
Today’s most popular platforms – including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest – are powered by copyrighted content, user-generated content, and often combinations of the two. The Section 512(c) Safe Harbor for Online Service Providers (OSPs) allows service providers who meet certain criteria to absolve themselves of liability for copyright infringement stemming from content posted by users without their knowledge. This immunity hinges on a regime known as “notice and takedown” (NTD).
In this fourth annual conference, Silicon Flatirons will bring together industry leaders, platform executives, artists, academics, and policymakers in a series of panels (3/8/2018).

NEST Studio for the Arts Grant
Partial grant awardee for project in collaboration with human-computer interaction researcher Jen Liu. The project will initiate in summer of 2018.
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.

The Synapse Before the Charge: Mediated Bodies in the Works of Laura Hyunjhee Kim and Cara Rose DeFabio
Dorothy R. Santos Essay on Shared_Portals

http://sharedportals.com, Dorothy R. Santos, Shared Portals (Online), October
"Artists Cara Rose DeFabio and Laura Hyunjhee Kim use mobile technology in their works to highlight the physical body as an already mediated experience. The reciprocity of the gaze and interaction through the woman’s body serves as the primary point of departure within these particular practices."

San Francisco Chronicle Review: Internet Archive Exhibition at Ever Gold Projects
< < CLICK HERE TO READ ONLINE > >
Internet Archive is a treasure trove of materials for artists, Charles Demaris, SF Chronicle (Paper/Print), Aug 11, 2017
"Kim’s conjured Hyper Future Wave Machine owes much to videos by early ’80s bands like the B-52s and Devo — and, perhaps through them, to decades-earlier films by Bruce Conner. But there’s a pleasant New Wave feeling to it that feels right as a retelling of the myth of a cyberparadise."

Daily Serving Review: San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, Sonic Futures
< < CLICK HERE TO READ ONLINE > >
Sonic Futures at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, Tanya Gayer, Daily Serving, May 3
"Laura Hyunjhee Kim’s video, LOVE NETWORKS LOVE (2017), considers the future from a technological standpoint. A performer digitally illustrates an image of a rose on her phone and types the phrase “a digital rose has no scent” while singing a sensual song that contains the same phrase. Kim considers the role that passion will play in the future as technology infiltrates connection and communication. The work leaves the audience with questions rather than answers: Who authors romance and connection—the technologists or the people who use the products?"
