Yiyun Kang

Yiyun Kang is an artist, researcher and educator working where art, technology and engineering meet. She is an associate and chair professor at KAIST’s Department of Industrial Design, where she founded and directs the Experience Design Lab, and holds a BFA from Seoul National University, an MFA from UCLA and a PhD from the Royal College of Art.

Her practice is built on technologically sophisticated immersive installations that explore post-anthropocentric perspectives, staging encounters between human, non-human and technological entities through synesthetic storytelling. Her work has been shown at the V&A, the Venice Architecture Biennale, Grand Palais Immersif and Chicago’s Art on the Mart, and she presented a collaboration with NASA and Google at the COP28 Blue Zone in Dubai.
