Kevin Lim
Deputy Director
As a cyberculturalist, Kevin studies the co-evolution of network and culture. He is interested in ways to promote creative economies, by helping people understand how the participatory and self-governing aspects of social computing generates new forms of social, economic and legal affordances.
With an academic background in communication theory, his research has ranged from Public Deliberation in Internet-Regulated China, to Social Capital among Online Non-Profit Organizations. His practice includes conducting social media strategy workshops for academic, commercial and non-profit organizations.
As an experiment in memory, privacy and cybernetics, he’ve worn networked cameras and computing devices as a means to immerse himself with the Internet. The project was nicknamed the "social cyborg", where the ebb and flow of physical and virtual information gave him a sense of omnipresence, while he provided a form of sousveillance to online participants.
He have been featured in the Buffalo News (New York), The Straits Times (Singapore), and several prominent news media channels.
