(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.
