*
Background:*
For last three years, *Byoung Ho Kim* focused on creating diverse
sculptures, which stand for the social phenomenon and diverse individual
desires consistently suggesting new goal of modern society and new
paradigm of life. For the materials he mostly uses steel, aluminium,
non-ferrous metals and various electronic equipments for the sounds.

*Theory*
Most of *Byoung Ho Kim?s* works involve invisible digital technologies
for making the specific interactive sounds that viewers can participate
with in the exhibits. He calls it "hidden media" because any equipment
or computer programs that react to the speech of the viewers are never
revealed although they often play an important role in his sculptures.
He believes that the digital technologies are seamlessly melted within
the new advanced sculptures or media sculptures.

With the help of a specific process of frequency modulation he changes
the language to the vague signs as Ferdinand de Saussure had described
it. He believes that language is one of the crucial means for expressing
desires. As he reproduces it through the particular equipment connected
to the computer, the social languages finally alter individual vague
desires. Thus he hopes that his media sculptures allow the viewers to
experience the sounds that express their own desires.
