Kim Alpert combines analog and digital technologies, movement, and sound to create sculptural and performance-based video systems. Kim's practice centers on humanism with inquisitions into psychology and spirituality - understanding and translating the impact of visual and sonic languages into meaning making. Kim uses digital and analog techniques, feedback, and found material to weave dream tapestries both recorded and performed.
