Lin Hsin Hsin (林欣欣) is an award-winning interdisciplinary artist, IT visionary and inventor who worked across a wide range of media and made early ground-breaking forays into digital techniques for visual and performing art. Deeply rooted in mathematics and computer science, she is also a poet and composer. Ahead of her own time, she launched the first virtual museum in the world in 1994 and made the decisive move to discard traditional ways of painting by creating new technological paradigms since 1994.
This exhibition centres on Lin’s artworks produced from the 1970s to the 1990s. The works are arranged both chromatically and rhythmically, befitting the abstract nature of her art. An enclosure within the gallery presents a concentrated sampling of Lin’s more recent digital artmaking, while the antechamber hosts a selection of her poetry and music compositions. Together, this body of works shows us the breadth and endurance of Lin’s creativity, and her unique contribution to Singapore’s post-Independence arts landscape.
