    Episode 16: First Timers with Minso Kim - PhD in Critical Media Practices
    Nov 11 2021
    This week I’m talking to Minso Kim, painter, electro-creator, and artistic Critical Media Practices Ph.D. candidate at CU Boulder about her new projects including the B.E.A.T. Convivial Machines exhibit at the Museum of Boulder. Interdisciplinary creation, remix culture, and techno-art are big and often intimidating concepts. Have you ever wondered where do artists get their ideas and inspiration for works at the edge of modern understanding of beauty and innovation? Minso Kim breaks it down into small, intentional, and integrated steps. We talk about how we she expanded her understanding of art, connected with her community to create greatness, and we share some personal perspectives on how we see the intersection of phobia and philia in natural and artificial environments.  Get ready to wander with a electro-artisan wonder star! Best Quote: “I'm always thinking about things in a strange or outside of the normal way, but at the same time, I want to be on Earth so I need somebody else to give me the vibes to bring me back to the Earth."
