Jaewon Kim
He explores the fragile balance between technology, nature, and humans in his work. As a multidisciplinary artist, he works across sculpture, multimedia installations, and drawing. Using 3D printers and other AI-based technologies, Kim expands the language of objects and bridges the gap between digital and analog production processes. His interest in ecological chain reactions—such as the prediction that humanity would go extinct within four years without bees—is consciously reflected in his work. Recently, supported by Stiftung Sparkasse in northern Germany’s Schleswig-Holstein region, he presented a new series at gallery Wassermühle Trittau, focusing on the lives of moths affected by light pollution.
