Imaginary Property passportThe relation between image and reality is inverted. We are producing reality through the visual and organize it in digital networks. Moving from representation to the performative, from the visual to the infrastructural, images are no longer created to represent a reality but through managing images, a reality is being organized.
What kind of digital networked images are being produced today? Digital images are informational, they are both technical as well as cultural descriptive data objects. What are their production mechanisms? What kind of relations and network protocols are being managed through the image and how? Does the organizational role of images, based on the technical and cultural protocols of digital image production, take over their visual representation?

Kim's research deals with the inverted relation between image and reality. Moving from representation to the performative,
from the visual to the infrastructural, images are no longer created to represent a reality but to manage it. Kim examines images as informational objects and traces the relations between image, event and media.
