Lin, Pei-Han is a multidisciplinary artist whose research-based works encompass painting, moving images, sculpture, textile, video, architecture, installation, sound, and text. She is doing site research between politics, environmental justice, and human rights. She combines analog and digital data forensics and uses protest and vulnerability investigations as her aesthetic. Lin’s methodologies initiate from empathy and include interview-based formats, computation, and 3d printing.
Lin is dedicated to exploring the intersections of culture, memory, and identity, inviting viewers to engage in critical dialogue and deep reflection on the complexities of cultural heritage and collective memory. Through immersive experiences and thought-provoking narratives, she integrates elements from various regions, amplifying marginalized voices and challenging contemporary social phenomena. Her art demonstrates the potential of art as a tool for political protest, revealing the shared colonial experiences and cultural erasure faced by the Balkans, the Sámi people, and the Taiwanese community, while sparking discussions on contemporary cultural identity, human rights, and external influences.
Lin holds a B Arch in Architecture Design from Shin Chien University in Taipei, Taiwan, and MFAs in Fine Art from NTNU and UiT at Trondheim and Tromsø, Norway.
