7E Studio Guest - Kimchee and Chips

Kimchee and Chips, is a collaborative art studio based in Seoul founded by Elliot Woods (UK) and Mimi Son (S. Korea). Their works combines technical media and/or primitive materials to create interactive exhibits.  They use disciplines of visual technology such as projectors, cameras, graphical computation as well as utilizing code with traditional art materials.  

“Light Barrier” (2014) is a light installation consisting of convex mirrors and light to create projection of floating graphical/animating objects.

“Line Segments Space” (2013) is a spectacular light and sound installation using projection, nylon string and code. It very much resonates with works from our past 7E featured artist Jeongmoon Choi.

“Lunar Surface” (2014) is a projection image created by a vertical flag of fabric moving in wind, displaced by curves of air pressure, swinging back and forth. “As it sweeps, it extrudes a trail of light which draws a moon floating in space. The flag renders this moon from another reality, the silk surface acts as a boundary between 2 realities, intermediating the laws of the 2 realms.”

Photos do not do justice.  Be sure to watch the videos.  I’m loving the wordplay on their name. Sounds pretty tasty actually.
