Join artist Ayoung Kim for a conversation with writer Dawn Chan and MoMA PS1 Chief Curator Ruba Katrib. Recognized as an artist on the vanguard of digital innovation, Kim employs generative AI, videogame engines, and live-action footage to create narratives that collide geopolitics, synthesize mythologies, and interrogate technologies. This conversation will delve into her creative process and explore themes of Asian futurism, as well as the evolving relationships between data, human beings, and the environment.
The talk coincides with Kim’s exhibition Delivery Dancer Codex at MoMA PS1, on view from November 6, 2025, through March 16, 2026. Her Performa 2025 commission premieres on November 13.
