As Digital Art Week returns to London (citywide, 21- 25 April), we are looking to the oeuvre Krista Kim, the trailblazing contemporary artist and pioneer of the Techism movement. A highlight of the 2024 Digital Art Week programme was a screening at Outernet of Kim’s Continuum, a mind-blowing visual meditation presented at an awe-inspiring scale (covering Outernet’s four-storey LED screen). Continuum is designed to uplift and bring serenity to the digital realm, where so often the dark sides of humanity prevail, or information can feel overwhelming. As Kim puts it: “Continuum” was born out of a profound desire to bridge this digital-human gap and to restore a sense of balance and connectedness. It was not just an artwork but a mission, an attempt to reintroduce Zen principles into our increasingly digitized existence.” Using an archive of LED light photography, Kim crafted digital compositions, prismatic, compelling colourscapes – nodding to the likes of Rothko and James Turrell – that invite introspective and sooth the senses. The project was originally conceived as a collaboration with Spanish digital artist, Efren Mur, with healing, high frequency music by Ligovskoï, and is inspired by the artist’s time living in Japan and her encounters with the principles of zen. Continuum has been presented in different locations, including Time Square and Fort York National Historic Site, and is a testament to Kim’s unique place in the digital art field, revealing the transformative potential of digital technology and its positive effects on people.
