Hojin Kang (*1986, lives and works in Berlin) deals in his works with our presence in a digitalised time. They reflect on the technological influence on our everyday behaviour, as well as on our physical and mental state.
With breath-controlled light installations, AR interactions and 3D-printed objects, he combines interactive technologies and concepts of mindfulness. The latter are inspired by Confucian and Buddhist traditions from his Korean background.
His interest in the intersection of physical, digital and immaterial bodies was decisively shaped by his day job in various design studios and his father's martial arts school. In the latter case, rituals for body and mind were always an essential part of the training schedule.
Hojin Kang's works question these material boundaries and deeply explore inner and outer experiences that universally interconnect, rather than divide, us.
His work has been exhibited at the Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken (2022), Ortstermin Art Festival (2021) and Kunstverein Ulm (2018), among others. He collaborates closely with curators, designers, artists, programmers and craftsmen in his projects.
