Mi Lin

Hand in Thought—Unravelling the Intangible (《手中思绪——解构无形》) (2025)

Mi Lin is a London-based cross-disciplinary artist and PhD researcher at the Royal College of Art. Her practice reimagines Miao embroidery, an intangible textile heritage from southwest China, through immersive and participatory installations. Working at the intersection of textile and digital art, she uses AI, generative systems and multimodal technologies to translate material textility, cultural memory and embodied experience into contemporary forms of engagement. In this interactive installation, she combines motion-tracked projection, gesture and sound to re-embody heritage, where gestures generate evolving forms, reflecting cultural transmission as a hybrid process of continuity, variation and renewal.
