Linda Lu is a Taiwanese-American researcher + artist living in Oakland.
She has created and led over 50 research + art projects. She has pushed the boundaries on what research is, who are researchers, what research is for. She has challenged our perceived valid methods of inquiry and the infinite dimensions of who we are and how we exist beyond the rigid confines of empirical paradigms.
About
I am a conceptual and visual artist who approaches art as research. My research + art is fluid, participatory, and multidimensional. My work lives at the intersection of inquiry and sensation, where data is not only collected but felt, sensed, and shared. Each act of participation alters the outcome, making the art itself a living methodology. I draw on indigenous and ancestral understandings of knowledge-making—practices that existed long before research became institutionalized.
I am influenced by the Fluxus movement, I see conceptual art as instrumentation: a way to disrupt linear thinking, manifest the abstract, and tell stories that awaken collective memory and future possibility.
I am more rupture, and unlearning,
