    June Kim is an interactive artist, PhD candidate and casual academic at the interactive media lab, UNSW art & design (University of New South Wales), Australia. For my research, I currently explore self perception, self and memory with practice to create a series of non-representational virtual reality artwork based on my fragmented memories. I have experience in teaching and researching at USYD (University of Sydney) , QUT (Queensland University of Technology) in Australia and AUT (Auckland University of Technology) in New Zealand for last four years. Before having my career goal as a practitioner-researcher and academic, I had worked as a compositor (lead) and generalist (2D & 3D) around eight years in NZ. I have my degree (Business in IT), Postgraduate Diploma (Communication studies) and MCT(Honours) (Masters of Creative Technology) at the AUT in NZ.
