Kim Vincs is based in Naarm (Melbourne, Australia) and acknowledges the traditional land of the Boon Warrung and Woi Wurring of the Kulin Nation.
She regularly travels overseas for artistic and research projects.
A dancer and choreographer for many years, Kim obtained her MFA in Dance at Mills College, Oakland, California in 1990, and her PhD in Dance at Deakin University in 2002. Soon after, she discovered Dance Technology. She learnt a few programs, created some works, and was hooked for life.
Kim went on to found the Deakin Motion.Lab, Melbourne’s first commercial Motion Capture studio and a highly successful art/technology research centre at Deakin University in 2006. In 2018, focussing on XR development for arts and industry, she co-founded the Centre for Transformative Media Technologies at Swinburne University of Technology, where she is now a Senior Principal Research Fellow.
Kim integrates extensive experience in commercial motion capture and XR design and development with a creative research and artistic practice in dance and all forms of technology, including motion and volumetric capture, AR/VR/XR development and human/robot interaction.
In all of her work, dance is the inspiration and the source of embodied knowledge that drives her technology exploration and her practice as a digital media artist.
