Do projects is Nurri Kim and Adam Greenfield, accompanied by a loose network of friends and collaborators.
Some of our ambitions are to:
- develop words and images that make the people who encounter them re-see themselves and the world around them;
- find the most appropriate containers for our ideas;
- craft the kind of books that please their readers in the details of their conception, design and construction as much as in the things they say;
- and figure out what “do-it-yourself” might mean in an age when new production technologies, informational and logistical networks give the independent amateur producer unprecedented power to reach out and make things happen.
And even though we have absolutely no formal training or background in any of the skills we’d need to make good on these ambitions, one thing we definitely believe in is learning by doing. This site is a record of everything we learn along the way. We hope you enjoy both it and the things we make.

About Nurri Kim.
Nurri Kim was born in Seoul, Korea, in 1973. She thinks of her work as an archeology of the moment, with the aim of restoring to awareness “the things that we see too often, and then forget to see.” Her work has been exhibited at Hippolyte Photographic Gallery in Helsinki, Insa Art Space in Seoul, the Conflux festival in New York City, the Media Arts Asia Pacific festival in Brisbane, Australia, and the ICANOF media art show in Hachinohe, Japan, among others.
