Join us as we step into the New York studio of multidisciplinary artist Kai Oh. Kai’s practice navigates the intersections of digital photography and physical art, creating works that expand traditional notions of the medium. Through this conversation, Kai shares her approach to digital image manipulation, blending photography with painting and exploring themes of fluidity and material transformation.
Discover how Kai transforms everyday digital images through layering digital “glitches” to experimenting with reflective and weight-bearing glass structures. Through her practice, Kai invites the audience to see the organic and artificial as intertwined forces, challenging us to rethink how we interact with and interpret digital media and the physical world.
