Cherry Carta Kim (Seoul, 2000) is a multidisciplinary filmmaker and artist based in Turin/Amsterdam.
Her practice integrates concepts from philosophy, media theory, dreamscape, rituals and religions. Her works investigate spirituality and ethics of living with/in new technology, such as A.I., web 3.0, and post-post-…-post internet art.
By engaging a personal interplay of tension between principles and independence, she explores how dreams, fantasy and creativity originate the human condition. She hopes to create a feedback loop through her works that can facilitate meaningful interaction between human and technology.

Cross Dimensional Space explores the connection between body and mind through a play of tension.
With the unprecedented speed at which humans and technology intertwine, our minds crave limitless growth. In a world where she struggles to identify a coherent belief system, the artist turns to self-discipline and physical ritual to anchor down her floating mind. Using Shibari techniques the artist explores the co-dependence of restriction and liberation, and thereby begins to balance the tension between body and mind.
A comfort emerges through the process of turning mindless action into routine. Slowly and unwaveringly, it transforms the fear of the unknown into a place of home.
