Cindy Lin
Biografi
Cindy Lin is a final year undergraduate National University of Singapore (NUS) student specializing in Southeast Asian Studies. She is currently residing in Singapore but frequently returns to Yogyakarta for her research on the particularities of hacking in Global South hackerspaces. She searches for idioms in the Global South encapsulating the culture and practice of tinkering, recombining and reusing in science and technology and see how these idioms still resonate or are challenged.
She co-founded Gender Collective - safe space for gender and sexual inclusivity in 2011 and is co-editor of independent critical semi-academic Southeast Asian Studies journal in 2013 – Subjectivities. She is also a groundwork volunteer of Project X - an initiative which seeks to recognise the rights of Trans* sex (not exhaustive) workers in Singapore. Cindy has recently initiated Sewon FoodLab – a transnational collaboration with geeks from Indonesia to critically think, experiment and discuss about consumable matter.
Member of the recently initiated Do-It-Yourself Biology Singapore (DIYbio SG) team, Cindy is a moonlighting student and a bio-enthusiast. She is obsessed with both alive and dead gastropoda and rodentia as well as the scientific narratives, patterns and behaviours of invasive alien species. She has recently participated in HackteriaLab 2014 Yogyakarta and exhibited at Post-PopUp: More than [show] business – a collaboration between Centre for Contemporary Art and Post-Museum.
Aktifitas di Indonesia
In early 2014, Cindy was in Yogyakarta for six months conducting research on transnational relations between artists, scientists, hackers and researchers and decentralized spaces of citizen science and technology. She also participated in HackteriaLab 2014 - Yogyakarta co-hosted by Lifepatch and Hackteria – a two-week transnational meeting between scientists, artists, hackers, researchers and other enthusiasts to critically discuss, collaborate and participate in three ecological research nodes.
After further developing her interest in experimenting with what can be consumed, Cindy, together with Agus Tri Budiarto, Lintang Radittya and Krisna W Pandawa, initiated Sewon FoodLab in July 2014. Sewon FoodLab later hosted and conducted Workshop Surabaya Fermentation Madness on fermented and fluorescent foods in c2o library & collabtive, Surabaya in August 2014.
In early December 2014, she jointly established Proyek Nenek with lifepatch and Stefanie Wuschitz in Yogyakarta.
Kolaborasi
In Cindy’s first formal collaboration with lifepatch members, she will conduct interviews and collect narratives from the mothers of lifepatch members and other nenek-nenek on their experiences with science and technology. These narratives will inform project members of the priorities of these older women, their structures of caring and sharing and their daily technological and scientific encounters. Where possible, Cindy hopes to detect and analyse the similarities and dissonances in tinkering, making and sharing between these particular female agents and other more recent hacker and citizen science figures in the Global South and Global North.
This transnational collaboration will materialize in the forms of non-fiction narratives, various kinetic prototypes, workshops and an exhibition. More details can be found here: Proyek Nenek
This project will continue till March 2015.
