Wednesday Kim is an interdisciplinary artist and a co-founder of De:Formal Online. She is from Seoul, South Korea, and is currently based out of California. Kim works with a mixture of analog and digital media, including 3D animation, video, performance, installation, print, and sculpture with clusterfuck aesthetics. Her work is informed by personal experiences and human psychology; she derives imagery from nightmares, intrusive thoughts, and childhood trauma. Furthermore, she portrays the absurdity of information-saturated contemporary life in a surrealist fashion through wordplay, Wikipedia, voyeurism, and witticism. Recent exhibitions and screenings include: Mental; Science Gallery, Melbourne; “The Digital Weird”; Arebyte Gallery, Oline, London, UK; Well Now WTF?, Silicon Valley, Online; Meme is my culture, Spazio Y, Rome; Transmediale Vorspiel, Berlin; FASTLINE, Hervisions for Art Night 2019, London; CHRYSANTHEMUM, Underground Flower, Ho Chi Minh City; Project Marco Asylum, Museo d’Arte Contemporanea de Rome, Rome; SUPERNOVA Digital Animation Festival, Denver; 8th Cairo Video Festival, Medrar for Contemporary Art, Cairo; Lanzarote International Video Art, Cultura Lanzarote, Las Palmas; and Abstract Mind, CICA Museum, Seoul.
