kim donghyuk
I'm a master's student at the Design AI Lab, advised by Kyung Hoon Hyun.
My research focuses on human–AI collaboration in spatial design and visual media. I explore how AI can build on human intuition and expertise in creative practice, and how it can expand the expressive possibilities of these media.
Alongside my research, I maintain an active filmmaking practice, drawing on my background in film and design. My film work is regularly featured at international festivals.
