The crux of Chow and Lin’s practice lies in their methodology of statistical, mathematical, and computational techniques to address global issues since 2010. Through a typological, photographic approach, Chow and Lin’s projects are driven by the discursive backgrounds in economics, public policy, media, and these are further augmented by enduring exchanges with specialists from those fields.
Their projects have been highlighted by art institutions and platforms including Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Arles Les Rencontres De La Photographie and Triennale Milano, and were invited to present at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok. Their works are in the permanent collections of China Central Academy of Fine Arts Museum and Chicago Museum of Contemporary Photography. They are authors of The Poverty Line (published by Actes Sud and Lars Muller, 2021).
Chow and Lin are based in Beijing, China.
