Yin Aiwen is an artist, designer, researcher, and occasional institutional strategist based in London and Rotterdam. Aiwen’s practice reconceptualises techno-institutional systems through care ethics. Her work often begins with ambitious speculative questions and uses critical theory as a design brief to create new systems of value through different forms of demonstrations, such as a performance, a game, a digital platform, or an exhibition. 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.
