Artist Residency at Thin Air


As part of the Goldsmiths University 'Impure Function', in collaboration with the UCLA Arts Conditional Studio. I am honoured to take part in the Thin Air Group exhibition at The Beams London from March to June, 2023. During this time I produced several interactive computational filters and artworks that demonstrated my interest in glitch art. We as a body of artist aims to address the technological, political, social, and artistic consequences of computation by bringing together practitioners to teach and learn, collaborate and comprehend, use and misuse the technology that surrounds us.We aim to create a playful space for participants to engage algorithms common in computation and computer graphics.

Yiying Jade Lin is a London-based multidisciplinary artist currently pursuing the BSc Digital Arts Computing at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her artistic practice is a nuanced exploration of memory, the dysphoric experiences of migration, and subalternity. Through her work, Lin confronts the disillusionment and complex realities spawned by globalism and capitalism, seeking to challenge and critique these prevailing systems. Her approach to art is characterised by a fusion of mediums and techniques. Her portfolio ranges from tangible, physical creations to immersive digital narratives, each piece underpinned by a distinct theme of curiosity and play. These elements are not mere artistic choices but deliberate strategies to bridge the gap between her art and diverse audiences.

Central to Lin's vision is the belief that art serves as a conduit for connection and understanding. She aspires for her creations to resonate with like-minded individuals, fostering a sense of kinship and shared experience. Beyond this, Lin is deeply committed to using her artistic voice to enhance mutual understanding among people from disparate backgrounds and locales. She remains dedicated to pushing boundaries and exploring new realms of expression.
