Hojin Kang is a german-korean media artist and designer. In his practice he deals with our presence in a (post-)digital era, where technological acceleration is juxtaposed with our physicality and mental state.
His artworks connect interactive technologies with traditional rituals and artifacts, drawing upon the Confucian culture and Buddhist philosophies inherent in his Korean heritage.
With 3D-printed prayer beads, AR sculptures and breath-controlled light installations, he brings the physical experience of the viewer to the fore, enabling them to become an integral part of the work.
Thus in a time of political division and cultural fragmentation, Hojin Kang's works seek the transcendent qualities that interconnect us as human beings.
His work has been exhibited at Stockwerk Projekt Weimar (2024), Kassel Dokfest Lounge (2023), Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken (2022) and Kunstverein Ulm (2018), among others. He collaborates closely with curators, designers, artists, programmers and craftsmen in his projects.
