Kim Lê Boutin is a digital artist and innovation expert exploring how new technologies and immersive experiences reshape culture. Operating as a hybrid designer, educator, and researcher, she works transversally across fields to imagine alternative digital futures. Her practice is driven by a focus on shifting the way we engage with the digital tools of today while speculating about the ecosystems of tomorrow.

She began coding websites at 13 and has since built over 15 years of experience in digital design. Her interactive works have been exhibited internationally at institutions including the Barbican Centre, ZKM Karlsruhe, ISO Amsterdam, and the Peabody Essex Museum.

In 2021, Kim published her manifesto for Positive Friction® and launched loadmo.re, the first curated index of non-standard mobile interfaces. By celebrating experimental interaction design, loadmo.re has become a reference point for designers seeking alternatives to mainstream digital aesthetics.

Kim has always been driven by a commitment to education, with involvement in major international art schools including KABK, The Slade School of Fine Art, London College of Fashion, and ECAL. In 2020, she joined a practice-led research Master’s program at Paris Nanterre University, where she wrote Glitch in the Meta, a research thesis tracing the history of the internet. Her analysis spans the early stages of the web to ultra-contemporary web3 innovations, aiming to chronicle an ever-evolving digital landscape.

In 2025, she founded New Ways of Seeing, an international festival in Paris that convenes artists, designers, researchers, and technologists to collectively reimagine how images are perceived and created in the digital age.
