Kok Yoong Lim

Kok Yoong Lim, Associate Professor of Digital Media at RMIT Vietnam’s School of Communication & Design, with 16+ years of experience in creative multimedia as a researcher, teacher, and practitioner. His art+tech+philosophical work is probing the shifting conditions of existence, presence, and aesthetics in the Cybrid landscape.

Situated within post-digital discourse, his research and practice interrogate the ontology of existence through spiritual, mnemonic, and relational frameworks. His research-led practice manifests in artistic media experiences that manipulate audience perception to probe new space–time consciousness shaped by technology.

Most recently through his projects Digital Spirituality, Environmental Entanglements, and Wellbeing in Anthropocene, developing a framework of post-virtual geophilia, positioning technology as existential media. He proposes an expanded existential condition where autopoietic systems and distributed agencies create multisensory ecologies that renew our spiritual connections to the environment in the Anthropocene.

His work has travelled across Southeast Asia, Korea, Japan, and the UK, with recent showcases at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Science Gallery Bengaluru, and Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara. More information at limkokyoong.com
