Jiyeon Kim
Radio station kdvs described Jiyeon Kim's practice as:
Jiyeon Kim is a Seoul-based sound artist using field recordings, prepared real-time audio manipulation, and post-processing techniques to create manufactured assemblages of natural acoustics and artificial resonance. Jiyeon has introduced a body of captivating and sublime work that effortlessly traverses academic discipline and folk practices; We'll listen to some of her work as well as hear an audio narrative she constructed discussing her creative process.
