Krista Kim
Krista Kim is a leading metaverse artist and founder of the Techism movement. Her work explores the concept of digital consciousness. This subject matter touches on her interest in digital technology's effects on human perception, media, social structures, and communication and examines the potential use of screens as digital instruments of well-being. In 2014, as a response to society's over-reliance on technology, she founded the Techism Movement, a philosophy that recognizes the artist’s role in technological innovation. This movement encourages artists to promote digital humanism for our digital culture.
She works in both digital and physical mediums. Krista's signature language of shifting gradients using digital software dates back to 2012, with her works on glass and plexiglass. Her distinctive moving exploration of these gradients, the Continuum installation, is currently featured in Times Square every midnight in February. Her pieces are meditative experiences of color and light which hypnotize viewers into a trance of tranquility.
In March 2021, she created Mars House: the first metaverse home for sale as an NFT in history. The piece received global acclaim and was the highest-grossing sale of an NFT on SuperRare.
Krista Kim is an internationally acclaimed artist and speaker who has been featured in exhibitions and media outlets around the world. She was chosen by Louis Vuitton as a #Louis200 visionary in celebration of the fashion house's 200th birthday. Kim is also a contributing Metaverse Editor for Singapore Vogue, and has been named one of the “Top 30 Most Influential People of the Metaverse” by Read and Write Magazine. In 2021, she collaborated with Mercedes Benz EQS and was part of the "Proof of Art" exhibition at Francisco Carolinum Museum (Linz, Austria).
