Kim did several net art projects, often based on data taken from the Internet or gathered from other individuals through the Internet. He works very experimental with generative strategies, physical computing, data and glitch. Most of his works leads into installations, sculptures, visualizations and abstract geometric art, but also into applications, animated gifs or noisy sounds. In 2010 he coined the term "pixel sorting", an algorithmic image manipulation process with unique results.

12C, Image Series, 2012
80 animated GIFs, 12 colors, 12 frames
The abstract GIFs of the 12c series follow strict rules, all have been created algorithmically, each based on a single formula. The structure seems to live, sometimes like a liquid and sometimes like electronic current. But in fact only the color changes. The whole movement is caused by shifting all pixels through a 12 color loop.
