Vocabularies of Computation

An Interview with Kyuha (Q) Shim
, 2018

Historically, computation has played a role in design practices to varying degrees. To some, its role has been integral in that it functions as both the outcome and the tool. For Kyuha Shim, or Q, its ability to be flexible allows him to maintain a practice that allows for improvisation through what he calls “the orchestration of logic.” His interests are diverse, working through various materials and subject matter, and though his approach is consistent, his practice is difficult to define, as an effort to do so would be limiting. It is the seamless integration of a contemporary visual vernacular and the command line that suggests that new models are en route.
