Emily Kim

My body of work is exploring an intersection of aesthetic development with scientific methods and technology, employing nano‐technology with semiconductor materials, x-ray lithography, optic and electronic microscope, and LCD touch screen. I investigate a medium and examine symbolic structures to express concepts of transcendence and spirituality in Buddhism. On deep levels, I have observed the natural beauty, richness, and complexity of organic forms.

This has led to exploration and experimentation in the area where the boundaries between the artistic and the scientific fields converge. Employing an interdisciplinary approach, art, science and technology, I have expressed the spiritual meaning of
Buddhist motifs and created a record of my own journey of understanding.

My belief is that art and science are ultimately one. One does not exist without the other; improvements in one reflect improvements in the other. The union of artistic idea and scientific exploration will bring new opportunities and knowledge, not only for art itself but, – through the integration of the two fields –a new insight
