Kim Alpert
Kim believes first and foremost in human-centric design and integrating technology with strategy in her time-based work. With a background in fine art, music, and carpentry, she brings an attention to detail and diverse styles to both her video installation and advertising work.
As a creative professional, Kim has worked for top advertising agencies for more a decade, developing expertise in building programmatic creative executions that merge aesthetics, psychology and technology. This, coupled with holistic analytics, yields better decision-making and provides a unique ability to fine-tune actionable plans that get results.
As a curator, she has produced events from intimate gallery exhibitions to large festivals, and she has displayed her original artwork at places like SOFA Expo, The Modern Wing at the Art Institute of Chicago, and Facets Cinematheque. Kim’s art primarily focuses on humanism, media, and change.
As a Media Artist, Kim uses digital and analog techniques, feedback, and found footage to weave dream tapestries both recorded and improvised. A significant part of Kim’s performed work is in collaboration with improvisational musicians, blending found footage, pre-rendered content and live visualizations. Kim has performed in collaborative works with Makaya McCraven, Ben Lamar Gay, Jaimie Branch, Mike Reed, Ken Vandermark, and Rob Mazurek.
