YoungEun Kim’s work considers sound and listening as sociopolitical and historical products and actions. Her recent practice explores how sound and listening are constructed and technically developed within specific historical contexts, and what possibilities listening offers in knowledge production and decolonization processes. Her work has been shown at the Gwangju Biennale; M+ Museum, Hong Kong; Museum of Fine Arts Bern, Switzerland; Samsung Museum of Art, Korea; Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, USA; and many others. She has been awarded at Prix Ars Electronica, SongEun Art Award, and Jecheon International Music and Film Festival. She was an artist-in-residence at Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Film and Digital Media at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
