Kichul Kim, a sculptor by training, follows an artistic path in the pursuit of this basic idea: If I see the sound, I can reach Nirvana. He has worked with this concept for more than ten years.

Rapport, Kim’s premiere work in the US, is a continuation of his “Looking Sound” projects that explore the physical and visual manifestation of sound. Previous works in this vein include 11 FACES, RAIN, and SOUND LOOKING. Rapport is an interactive sculpture – it moves when it “hears” sound.
