The International Review Board said Kim's unique way of incorporating multi-layered visual elements into overlapping and powerful narratives was impressive.
The artist captured a fictional scenario with a futuristic world twist and an open ending given by AI in her work.
She has continued multidisciplinary work covering video, moving images, sound installation, performance, VR, game simulation, fiction, and text.
