Ying-Chen Joyce Lin (b. 1999) is a Taiwanese media artist and embodied system designer based in the Netherlands.
Her practice inhabits the increasingly inseparable relationship between the body and contemporary technologies. Working from the premise that technological systems can no longer be observed from a critical distance, she understands the body not as a self-contained entity but as a perceptual boundary continuously extended through technological mediation. Drawing on bodily data, embodied interaction, and computational language, she constructs iterative systems in which identity is continuously negotiated rather than represented through ongoing human-machine relations.
She holds an MA in Media, Art, Design & Technology from the Frank Mohr Institute (NL) and a BFA in Theatre Design from Taipei National University of the Arts (TW). Her work has been presented internationally at venues including Rotterdam Art Week (NL), Berlin New Media Week (DE), and Goldsmiths, University of London (UK). She is currently a resident at Kunstpodium T (NL) and has previously held residencies at the C-LAB Taiwan Sound Lab (TW) and the National Taichung Theater (TW). Her work has been supported by the De Groot Brugmans Fund (NL), Taiwan's Ministry of Culture (TW), and the National Culture and Arts Foundation (TW). In 2025, she was awarded First Prize in Emerging Lighting Design at World Stage Design.
