MMus í Sköpun, miðlun og frumkvöðlastarf.

Lindy Lin, an electroacoustic composer and audiovisual artist based in Reykjavík, blends cultural influences with natural soundscapes and everyday objects to create immersive, surreal experiences. This project is her final work for the MA NAIP Program at the Iceland University of the Arts.

Mirror Stage: i ⇌ !

“When I look myself in the mirror, I found myself in error.” Lindy Lin’s “Mirror Stage: i ⇌ !” is a long-term artistic exploration of gender, identity, and self-reflection through deconstruction and reconstruction. The project combines audiovisual elements, improvisation, and collaboration with female, trans, non-binary, and gender-fluid artists to challenge societal norms and the male gaze. It redefines traditional symbols like the Chinese flute “Xiao”, sewing machines, and natural elements such as water and silk, creating a space for radical reinvention.

𓇼The performance is structured in three chapters:  

Exposition of “i”: A self-reflective journey emerging from mirrors. 

Concert: 31 March 2025, 8:00–9:30 PM

Recapitulation of “!” : A culmination featuring voices of female artists in Reykjavík.  

Concert: 1 April 2025, 8:00–9:30 PM
Development of “i ⇌ !” : A month long interactive media process responding to external gazes.  

Opening: 31 March, 6:30-10:00PM; 1 April – 1 May 2025, 12:00-6:00PM
