Sarah Seiyeun Kim is a technologist, designer, and artist who creates products and experiences that harmonize human, non-human, and technological worlds. She has made installations, short-films, soundscapes, websites, computational art, sculptures, zines, and more that envision new ways of relating to the planet, each other, and ourselves.
As a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Science from the Integrated Design and Media program at NYU Tandon School of Engineering and a minor in Media, Culture, and Communication from Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, Sarah works with a multidisciplinary toolbox using contemporary technologies, information and communication studies, cognitive psychology, human-centered and speculative design to nurture cultures of sustainability, inclusivity, and change.
Her works prompt the formation of new identities, connections, and collectivities through a meticulous multisensory design practice. Drawing from dark ecology and biomimicry, she creates spaces, temporalities, and objects that shift past anthropocentric norms, inspire collective healing, and reshape humankind’s coexistence with Earth’s complex systems.

Sarah Seiyuen Kim is an interdisciplinary designer and multimedia artist shaping transformative sensory experiences at the intersection of human-machine interaction, ecological awareness, and cultural inquiry. She recently graduated with a B.S. in Integrated Design and Media with a minor in Media, Culture, and Communication from NYU Tandon School of Engineering and Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development (May 2025). Through cross-disciplinary methods, she draws on dark ecology to challenge anthropocentric narratives and foster coexistence with nonhuman systems. Her installations, such as Echoes of the Ouroboros, use generative soundscapes in MAX/MSP, projection mapping, and physical fabrication to create liminal spaces that explore memory, identity, and ecological entanglement, guiding audiences from chaos to openness.
Blending critical theory, natural observation, and emerging technologies, Sarah’s work critiques the rigid frameworks of agrilogistics, reimagining human relationships with the environment through an aesthetical balance of playfulness, seriousness, and interconnectedness. Her multidisciplinary practice spans creative coding (Java, JavaScript, Python, HTML), sound design (DAWs, MAX/MSP, analog synthesis), film production, photography, and interactive installations, crafting narratives that resonate emotionally and physiologically. Inspired by phantasmagoria, natural patterns, and cultural memory, she bridges personal and collective experiences to promote healing and agency.
As an impressionist artist, experimental cellist, writer, and composer, Sarah explores semantics, cybernetics, and relationships between human nonhuman entities. Her projects have been showcased in academic and artistic settings, sparking dialogue on ecological and social transformation. By engaging communities and collaborating across disciplines, she aims to shift cultural fabrics toward sustainable, inclusive futures.
