CONTINUUM is a light and sound video installation that creates a meditative space for the viewer.  Krista Kim produced this large-scale artwork in a slow animation for a 20-minute sequence.  This piece was made in collaboration with Smashing Pumpkins guitarist Jeff Schroeder, who has composed healing frequency music in correlation with the energy of Krista Kim’s visuals.

This immersive experience has a profound effect of calm, well-being and meditativeness.


Numerous scientific studies have proven the social, psychological, and health benefits of meditation.  And mindfulness is now becoming more mainstream as people flock to meditation classes, wellness retreats, and yoga centers. We believe that meditation and mindfulness are essential to restoring balance within ourselves and our communities.
