Hojin Kang (born in Cologne, Germany in 1986 to Korean migrant parents) is an artist & lecturer based in Berlin Moabit. His artistic practice explores the relationship between digital technologies, embodied experience, and migrant memory. Kang often connects contemporary media with ritual forms, philosophical traditions, and questions of identity, belonging, and perception.

Drawing on Confucian and Buddhist philosophies connected to his Korean heritage, Kang creates works that place the visitor’s bodily presence at the center of the experience. Through 3D-printed prayer beads, AR sculptures, generative AI installations, and breath-controlled light installations, he investigates how technological systems shape memory, intimacy, and the ways we relate to ourselves and others.

In a time of political division and cultural fragmentation, Kang’s work seeks the transcendent qualities that bind us across cultural, generational, and ethnic divides and reflects how technologies can be transformed from instruments of control and dehumanization into tools of care and human connection.

Selected exhibitions: Korean Cultural Center, Berlin (2026); Vorfluter, Berlin (2026); Galerie Adlershof, Berlin (2026); Pacific Asia Museum, Pasadena (2026); Heimaten Festival, Saarbrücken (2025); Galerie Judith Andreae, Bonn (2025); Dokfest Lounge, Kassel (2023); Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken, Saarbrücken (2022); Kunstverein Ulm, Ulm (2018).
