Hojin Kang

Hojin Kang is a Berlin-based Artist, Graphic Designer and Art Director. Driven by his interest in the intersection of human self-conception, technology and meditation, he explores the meaning of here-ness in times of virtual ubiquity.

Through AR sculptures, media installations, interactive objects and images, he reflects on the influence of technology on our everyday behaviour and state of mind.
