The presentation features visiting artist from New York, Christine Sun Kim.

Christine Sun Kim is a Berlin-based artist who uses the medium of sound in performance and drawing to investigate her relationship with spoken languages and her aural environment. Projects include using the audience’s voice as her own, conducting a group of people to "sing" with facial movements, and composing visual scores with sign language and musical symbols.

Christine Sun Kim's appearance in Chicago is supported through a partnership between the SAIC Sound Department, the Department of Learning and Public Engagement at the Art Institute of Chicago, and the SAIC Graduate Division.
