Kimchi and Chips

Kimchi and Chips is a Seoul-based art and technology duo founded in 2009 by Mimi Son and Elliot Woods. They explore art, science and philosophy not as separate fields to be bridged, but as alternative maps of the same world. Their large-scale installations investigate the nature of contemporary images, including the series Drawing in the Air, which merges ideas from relativistic physics and Buddhism. They personally design and engineer every element of their works: code, optics, structures, electromechanics, electronics and AI. Known for pioneering advanced 3D projection, their Light Barrier (2014) created a volumetric image using light field projection in a scattering medium. They champion open-source practices and exhibit worldwide at major institutions such as MMCA Korea, ZKM, Somerset House and Ars Electronica.Last Updated: 2025.11
