**Lin Chi-Wei**
Born in Taipei in 1971, Lin Chi-Wei is a transdisciplinary artist with academic training in French literature, cultural anthropology, and media art. Since the early 1990s, Lin has been involved in Taiwan’s countercultural scene, being a founding member of the noise band Z.S.L.O. and responsible for programming various alternative art festivals. At the same time, Lin explored the realms of music and religious art through intense field research (especially temple sculpture and Taoist rituals). These experiences, combined with his practices in noise performance and electronic music composition, produced critical perspectives on contemporary artistic practices. Since 2004, in response to the themes he has pursued over the years, Lin has initiated the “Tape Music” series, or later IDCM (Interhuman Dynamic Coordinated Models), synchronous protocols that allow individual autonomy in the formation of collective intelligence, resulting in complex sound works. Lin’s 350-page book, “Beyond Sound Art: The Avant-Garde, the Sound Machine, and the Modernity of Listening,” was published in 2012, in which he rejected the term “sound art” and offered a holistic view that blurred the line between human culture and technology. Lin’s artworks have been exhibited in various biennials and museums, such as Tate Modern, Centre Pompidou, and PSA Shanghai, as well as in other non-artistic spaces like local communities, private residences, public schools, factories, churches, temples, bars, and living rooms in various countries around the world. He lives and works between Taipei and Paris.
