Yo-Yo Lin

Bio

Yo-Yo Lin 林友友 is a Taiwanese-American, interdisciplinary artist who uses animation, performance, and sound to create meditative ‘memoryscapes.’ Her recent body of work reveals and re-values the complex realities of living with invisibilized chronic illness, investigating ideologies of healing, resilience, and care. Her practice often facilitates sites for community-centered abundance, developing into physical and virtual installations, workshops, accessible nightlife parties, and artist collectives. This year, she debuted her latest performance “channels” at The Shed to a sold-out house. She is currently developing and teaching her course “Media-making as a Healing Practice” at NYU ITP and was recently selected for the 2022 Disability Futures Fellowship. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she lives with her partner and growing collection of houseplants in Brooklyn, NY.
