About the Item

About Ha Young KIM’s Work While internet and post-internet theory tends towards locating the screen as the point of intermediation between cyberspace and the subject's position at the computer/device, little is said about the face as a point between one conceptual space and the other. In Kim’s work it is precisely the face that is given attention as representative of an element of the non-virtual that is not included into the virtual identity. … Kim tells of her misidentification with her own face after spending too much time online, the sense of being brain-dead expressed by the part of the body which had once done most expressive work. Kim gives us a portrait of contemporary society as numb-faced, in which our existence is a fragmented one, not human, not machine and not cyborg, if the cyborg has traditionally been theorised as a harmonious singular entity. If the face can unlock a wealth of pre-existing personality and individual identity, then the stem cells – associated with self-renewal and transformation – might be seen to represent the potential to develop new identity, in any form. Excerpt from ‘ID, please!-The artist’s nomadic status, and our everyday encounters-‘ by Sena Lee, Exhibition Review, April 15, 2012
