(debbie) Y.J. Lin 林晏如 is an interdisciplinary artist interested in site-specific work focused on
the architecture of human sound and languages. In a bilingual Mandarin and
English household, she began classical piano at age four and grew up watching her
grandma design and knit entire outfits from scratch. Having performed as a vocalist
at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Hollywood Bowl, and Carnegie Hall, she experiments
with the duality of performative and reflective, time-based works, often using a hybrid of sound,
found, upcycled, video and emerging to transcribe the transience of thought through the lens
of Faith and technology. Her works address the many faces of reconciliation and have been
exhibited in Barcelona, Berlin, London, Los Angeles, New York, Rome, Seoul, Taipei.
She graduated cum laude from UCLA with a B.A in Music Education, summa cum laude
from Berklee College of Music with a M.M in Music Production and Technology and
received her M.A. in Media Studies from The New School of Public Engagement in New York.

She is the founder and co-curator of V I D E O S O U N D A R C H I V E,
artistic & managing director of victoria poetry project society and is a self-taught photographer
and coffee enthusiast just like her grandpa. As an advocate for equitable creative
expressions, she is happy to be a member of SAG-AFTRA, UBCP/ACTRA and League of Canadian
Poets to keep fair artist compensation in all the conversations and spends most of her time
creating and working to restructure the historically and systemically erased voices as an
independent director, consulting producer, screen/video/voice/recording/sound/spoken word
artist and arts music educator.
