Lin Hsin Hsin (Chinese: 林欣欣; pinyin: Lín Xīn Xīn) is an IT inventor, artist, poet and composer from Singapore, deeply rooted in mathematics and information technology.[1] She established the first virtual museum website, the Lin Hsin Hsin Art Museum, in 1994.[2]

Background

Lin was born in Singapore. She graduated in mathematics from the University of Singapore and received a postgraduate degree in computer science from Newcastle University, England. She studied music and art in Singapore,[3] printmaking at the University of Ulster, papermaking in Ogawamachi, Japan and paper conservation at the University of Melbourne Conservation Services.

Digital Media

Digital Media Pioneer

Lin is a digital media pioneer,[27] She has created digital music in 1985, 3D digital art in 1987, and digital animation in 1989 in Singapore. Since 1993 todate, Lin has pioneered the use of a two-button mechanical PC Mouse to draw and paint Western and Chinese paintings.[28] She has created digital oil paintings, watercolors, Chinese ink paintings and calligraphy. She also digitally sketches with this mouse. Hsin Hsin has never and does not use any tablet PC and stylus in such creation. More than 250 digitally created artworks were exhibited in 1997 in her 15th solo exhibition in Singapore.[29][30]

Virtual Museum

In 1994, Lin set up the first virtual museum[31] in the world, the Lin Hsin Hsin Art Museum[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]

Lin Hsin Hsin created Web art[45] and Net art in 1995, HTML art in 1996 and she has developed interactive Web art[46] since 1997. Lin pioneered virtual sculpting in 1999 in Singapore; it was exhibited in Paris, France in 1999, 2001, and 2003.

Digital Art

Lin Hsin Hsin Started from the real-world, in 1985, she moved into the digital world.

However, Lin has, since 1994, began with the digital, and fabricated the digital into the real

ISM

Lin believes in Mathematical & Computing fundamentals, she anchors on science to create art. She

  • forbids drag & drop, scan & morph, cut & paste processes to create digital art.
  • established Eco-computing[47] initiatives for digital media in 2007.
  • algorithm driven & equation-based
  • Linux platform

Music

Digital music

From conceptualisation to composing, from sound calibration to mastering, Lin has produced music on a PC without a sound card and midi instruments. Lin creates virtual instruments including a virtual didgeridoo, a berimbau used by the Brazilian aborigines. In 2006, Lin has realised the sonification of nature, including a rainforest, waterfalls and wind by an interactive virtual sound board she has created. Hsin Hsin's music has been performed in Vienna, Austria in 2002, Bourges, France in 2003, 2004 and Pisa, Italy, 2005.

Music visualisation

Lin has composed music and painted music as an artist. The 45 paintings in the "Abstraction in Music" Series (1986–1987) is her interpretation of music on canvas, as she is moved by the music of great composers such as Handel (Water Music), Mozart (Jupiter Symphony), Franz Liszt (Rhapsodies dan l'espace), Vivaldi (The Four Seasons), Debussy (La Mer). In addition to the canvases, there are the paperworks subtitled "La Petite Séries" created with different techniques, an abstraction of audio visualisation—perceived images of the sound in music such as Musical Ornaments: Trill, Appoggiatura and Turn (Staccato) and sound in the universe like Woodpecker.

Lin has conceptualised and written about the art in music and music in art. Since 2002, Hsin Hsin has digitally created visual music, or animated music, as she puts it.

2005, Lin built wearables and lights that response to music.

2006, Lin built paradigm shift interactive digital real-world musical instruments—I-Musika[66][67]

Interactive music

Lin developed an interactive Music Sound Board in 2006. The creation of this soft sound board enables real time creation of the sound of nature. Examples are elements of sound audible in nature, such as rain forest, insects, water, and wind.

Intermedia

Combining mathematics, technology, art and music, Hsin Hsin pursues interdisciplinary studies.

Lin speaks, reads and writes in Chinese, English, Japanese and French. She writes poems in these languages
