Yin Aiwen is an artist, designer, researcher, and occasional institutional strategist based in London and Rotterdam. Departing from the idea that ‘the technological is institutional, the institutional is technological’, Aiwen reconsiders and reimagines the socio-economic, cultural, emotional, and bodily conditions, etc. by designing the new techno-institutional around care ethics. Her recent major projects include ReUnion Network, Liquid Dependencies (with Yiren Zhao and Zoe Zhao), and Alchemy of Commons (with Yiren Zhao). Aiwen’s writings have appeared on LEAP, e-flux and so-far, among others.
Yin Aiwen is currently the 2024 Asymmetry PhD Scholar in ‘Advanced Practices’ at Goldsmiths, University of London.
