Kimchi And Chips Biography

Kimchi and Chips, the Seoul-based art and technology duo founded in 2009 by Mimi Son and Elliot Woods, explores the intersection of art, science and philosophy through their ambitious large-scale installations. Their practice is rooted in the recognition that art, science, and philosophy are not distinct disciplines, but rather alternative ways of mapping the same terrain that should be used in tandem.

Their series 'Drawing in the Air' combines ideas from relativistic physics with the duration-oriented philosophy of Buddhism to investigate the problematics of images in contemporary society. They personally design the technical aspects of their work, including code, electromechanics, structural engineering, optical systems, electronics engineering, AI development, etc.

Kimchi and Chips' research-based approach has earned them recognition as pioneers in the field of advanced 3D projection, especially with their Light Barrier series which in 2014 was the world's first project to successfully generate a volumetric image through the utilisation of light field projection within a scattering medium. Their dedication to open-source practices is evident in the over 200 code libraries they have released online, which have been adopted by other practitioners and integrated into popular creative tools.

Their work has won several awards and has been presented at the National Museum of Contemporary Art (MMCA Korea), ZKM Center for Art and Media, Somerset House, Ars Electronica, ACC Gwangju, Zeche Zollverein, SxSW and Resonate Festival, and continues to influence contemporary art and technology.
