Krista KimHeart Space 4, 2025I wrote the Techism manifesto in 2014—a philosophy to bridge the gap between art and technology, advocating for digital innovation as a force for human expression, emotional connection, and cultural transformation. In an era where technology is often reduced to mere utility or consumerism, Techism asserts that art must be integrated into technological development to preserve and elevate the human spirit.
My work explores how digital tools—whether through AI, blockchain, or immersive environments—can foster a new renaissance of creativity and consciousness. The core philosophy of Techism is that technology should serve humanity, not consume it. By embedding artistic intention into digital innovation, we can create experiences that inspire mindfulness, well-being, and collective evolution. -

Krista Kim’s digital gradient works are meditative expressions of the intersection between art and technology, offering a Zen experience to counterbalance the negative effects of digital media on mental health. Inspired by her time living in Japan and the practice of meditation, Krista uses screens—often seen as sources of anxiety and overstimulation—to create serene, calming environments. These gradients are abstract reductions of color and light emitted from screens, designed to quiet the mind and foster inner peace.
Krista’s gradients are more than just visual meditations; they are symbols of the fluidity and constant transformation of our culture in the digital age, as outlined in her Techism manifesto. Through this philosophy, she believes that art, when paired with technology, can heal and recalibrate our mental states. Since 2012, Krista has been capturing digital images of LED lights and manipulating them with software to create these immersive pieces. Her work embodies a vision for a more harmonious coexistence with technology, transforming it into a tool for mental wellness and cultural reflection.

传记
Krista Kim is a digital artist and founder of Techism (2014), whose work explores the concept of digital consciousness. Her interest in digital technology and its revolutionary effects on human perception, media, social structures, and communication led her to work in both digital and physical realms. Having developed her signature language of shifting gradients using digital software since 2012, her works on glass and plexi hypnotize its viewers into a trance of tranquility while her immersive video works provide meditative experiences of color and light. Kim is also the Co-Founder of Creative Immersive Production Studio, 0Studio.ai.
In 2020, Kim continued to explore the creative potential to utilize screens as digital instruments of well-being by creating 'Mars House': a completely virtual environment using her digital zen philosophy as the first “Metaverse home” for sale as an NFT in history. The piece received global acclaim and in March 2021 was the highest-grossing sale on an NFT on SuperRare.
In 2014, as a response to society's over-reliance on technology, she started the Techism Movement, a philosophy that recognizes technological innovation as an artistic discipline, encouraging artists to promote digital humanism for our digital culture.
