Yunchul Kim is an artist and electroacoustic music composer whose practice explores the fundamental dynamics of Transmatter and Mattereality. Transcending the realm of human experience, his work demonstrates the potential of imagination to create new realities. He envisions a material world that exists before language and culture defined it as a dimension where humans, non-humans, machines, and materials hold equal agency. In his works, matter exists not as an object but as the subject of events, a concept he defines as "Transmattering." Kim has received international awards, including the 2016 Collide International Award from CERN, Prix Ars Electronica, and VIDA 15.0. His works have been exhibited internationally, including the Korean Pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale; 798CUBE, Beijing; Yokohama Triennale; CCCB, Spain; Science Gallery Melbourne; FACT Liverpool; Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt; ZKM, Karlsruhe; and Copenhagen Contemporary. He served as chief researcher of the transdisciplinary research group Mattereality at the Korea Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS), participated in the art-research project Liquid Things at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, and was a member of the international art and science project team Fluid Skies. He is the founder of Studio Locus Solus in Seoul.
