          Hongjohn Lin was born in 1964, lives and works in Taipei, Taiwan. He graduated with a Doctoral Degree in Arts and Humanities from the New York University, the United States. Lin is currently the director of Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts and the dean of Taipei National University of Arts. His works were exhibited in various art festivals, including Rotterdam Film Festival and Asian Triennial at Manchester, the United Kingdom in 2008. Lin was also a co-curator for Taipei Biennial in 2010. As an artist, a theorist, a curator, and an educationist, he is interested in topics regarding history, political science, and society, researching into a case study of marginal people whom the human condition is controlled and occupied with bio-power by the jurisdiction in the contemporary society. In his work "Bio-dictionary" exhibited in Bangkok Layers, Lin and his team have examined into a group of marginal people who live by the Chao Phraya River in Khlong San district and the nearby areas aiming to value the living conditions of people within the center of the city culture in Bangkok and search for the crux of the phenomenon of the human and community evacuations authorized by the splendid government policies. The marginal people’s life-keywords, that Lin has recorded, have put an emphasis on the case study of the communities and the society and have created a link to the ecological living conditions of the individuals who live amidst instability of their lives risking being evacuated. Lin has underlined/given details about the keywords of lives in order to create anamorphic images which can be perceived from a specific perspective. With this approach, Lin has accentuated the empirical existence in which the observers need to look for a clear dimensional thinking in order to understand it.
