CAROLE KIM is an interdisciplinary artist with a focus on live video performance and performance-based video installation. Coming from a background in the more plastic arts, Kim explores video for its most tactile, expressive and responsive potential as a live medium. She is interested in the experiential impact of emergent technologies and their metaphorical potential. She seeks an integration of media where moving image, sound, dance and space are on equal planes engaging in a dynamic reciprocating and mutually supportive dialogue. Kim's installations are hybrid spaces in which the illusory and actual (i.e. mediated and live) merge together in an "other worldly" environment.

A particular love for live improvisational new music has fostered many sound/image collaborations with musician/composers including Nels Cline, Alex Cline, GE Stinson, Jesse Gilbert, Mark Dresser, Dan Clucas, Carl Stone, Vinny Golia, Wadada Leo Smith, John Lindberg, Hahn Rowe, Steve Roden, Theresa Wong, Phil Curtis, Sara Schoenbeck, Harris Eisenstadt, Joe Berardi, Jessica Catron, Leticia Castaneda, Albert Ortega, Ellen Burr, Catherine Lamb, Yorgos Adamis, Motoko Honda, Gilbert Nouno, Joelle Leandre, Carla Bozulich, Scott Amendola, Mark Trayle, Karen Elaine Bakunin, Nick Didkovsky, Daphna Naphtali, and Pheroan Aklaff.  She has collaborated with the following dancer/choreographers: Oguri, Roxanne Steinberg, Shel Wagner Rasch, Michael Sakamoto, Shuriu Lo, Grisha Coleman, Stephanie Nugent, Jesske Hume, Liz Hoefner, Hassan Christopher, Christine Pichini and Maya Gingery.  A lineup of visual artists and filmmakers has contributed to past projects including: Moses Hacmon, Adam Levine, Astra Price, Maile Colbert, Mirabelle Ang, Rebecca Baron, Beth Bird, Eve Luckring, Adele Horne, Christine Marie, Bo Sul Kim, Ann Kaneko, Lisa Tchakmakian, Pablo Molina, and Alex Lorge.
