Yen Chun Lin (1990, Taiwan) is a London-based artist working mainly with sculptural installation that is activated by immersive soundscapes and speculative science. Forming from the fascination and fears of unknown phenomena in natural environments, her works investigates ambiguities that are often devalued in assumed knowledge; situated between rational science and the classification of the unexplainable, supernatural, ethereal. Her research focuses on how vibration, in sonic and tactile terms, shapes our perception of our surroundings and the potential of dust as a sonic recorder that continuously records its surrounding environment.
