A new breed of artists is on the rise. They work with living matter, nature and have a strong emphasis in biology and life sciences. In this emerging field of Bio-Art and Design there’s need for extensive collaboration. Not only between the different disciplines involved, but also between generations. That's why we invited dedicated artist Pei-Ying Lin to become our artist-in-residence. This means that she will be a regular attendee of the Mediamatic Biotoop, with scheduled consults for you to attend to. Exchange your ideas and sign up for a one on one with Pei-Ying Lin.
Meetings with Pei-Ying are open for everyone interested in bio-art, science, human body, humans/society versus nature, and much more in connection to these fields. Do you need an advice, a kick to start your own project, or are you just curious and seeking the answers for your questions in connection to the biology, art, design, science? Pei-Ying is here to help you overcome your fears, obstacles, and to give you advice from her valuable extensive professional experiences.
Pei-Ying Lin is a Taiwanese bio-art designer and artist, founder of Taiwanese BioArt Community, and co-founder of Ouroboros - Organic Organism of O. Her main focus is on the combination of science and human society through artistic methods, and is particularly interested in building a common discussion ground for different cultural perspective regarding elements that constructs our individual perception of the world.
Her passion lies around the topic of viruses, both its biological essence as well as the psychological and social landscape. Many of her projects are questioning relationship viruses, bio-materials, synthetic biology versus humans - ‘Can we treat viruses as the wild animals?’ (Tame to Tame project), ‘Can we change our vaccination technique in order to prevent scar formation?’ (Smallpox Syndrome project), ‘How can the mandala reflect our relationship and our projection of the universe nowadays?’ (Kaleidoscope of the Universes project).
