Yo-Yo Lin is a Taiwanese-American interdisciplinary media artist who explores the possibilities of human connection and embodiment in the context of emerging technologies. She uses intelligent projection/lighting, digital and hand-drawn animation, interactive objects, and lush sound design to create meditative “memoryscapes.”

Her work often examines human perception as a vehicle for self-knowledge and community growth. Lin is currently researching and developing methodologies in reclaiming and processing chronic health trauma. This work in progress, entitled “Modes of Embodiment,” is composed of a digital and physical toolkit that seeks to be an expressive resource and living archive of chronically ill and disabled bodyminds.

She has shown new media works at international art galleries (Human Resources, Lincoln Center, La Corte Contemporanea), music festivals (Coachella, Panorama), film festivals (New York Film Festival, SXSW), and public art venues. She has spoken at NYU Steinhardt, Rutgers University, and UCLA, and at art institutions such as EyeBeam, A Blade of Grass, and Movement Research. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she now lives and works in New York City.
