Shu-Wen Lin

Art and Obsolescence

On this week’s show we chat with time-based media conservator Shu-Wen Lin who has led an incredibly prolific career over the past five years or so, serving as the very first time based media conservator at numerous institutions, and working in museums in over four different countries – including Hong Kong, Taipei, Canada, and the USA. Prior to working as a time-based media conservator Shu-Wen also worked as an archivists for contemporary artists such as Sterling Ruby, and Cai Guo-Qiang. In our chat Shu-Wen shares some of the highlights of her work, not least of which a recent virtual symposium she co-organized to help build local time-based media conservation expertise and community in east and south-east Asia. Tune in to hear all of this and more.
