林博彦，1988年出生于香港。2010年毕业于香港大学建筑学院，2015年毕业于伦敦传媒学院摄影系。
他始终对技术、媒介与人互相作用的交汇处保持着持续的关注。因其在建筑和摄影方面接受的学术和实践训练，他乐于重新审视和拆解图像被制造、传播的过程。通过或戏谑，或诗意，或调皮的方式，他试图揭示这一过程背后隐含的权力机制及社会建构因素。在近期的创作中，他对互联网的长期兴趣让他的创作实践自然而然过度到了数字技术及产生的数据的相关平台、机制和逻辑。通过多媒体装置、行为表演和文本等呈现形式，他采用平台本身的语言以及 “在地性” 的研究方法，探究这些技术中的政治和个人意味。过去两年中，他的作品有两个主要关注点，分别是线上劳动力外派，以及社交平台与注意力经济，并在此过程中对早期互联网发展的历史和叙事进行反思。
他的近期展览有：“机器人与否”，Pole Gallery，伦敦，英国（2019）；“亲密满溢”， 巴比肯艺术集团信托，伦敦，英国（2019）；巴黎摄影展－光圈基金会摄影书奖入围展，大皇宫，巴黎，法国（2019）；“热床”，百货商店楼下空间，伦敦，英国（2019）；“中国当代摄影四十年 1976-2018”，OCAT 深圳馆，中国（2018）；“复相·叠影”，广州影像三年展 2017，广东美术馆，广州，中国（2017）；“无量：2016年度第八届三影堂摄影奖作品展”，三影堂摄影艺术中心，北京，中国（2016）；“危地马拉摄影节GuatePhoto 公开招募作品展”，危地马拉城（2015）；“镜头之外”，平遥国际摄影大展，中国（2015）。
Born in Hong Kong in 1988, Lam Pok Yin graduated from University of Hong Kong Department of Architecture in 2010 and then graduated from the Department of Photography, London College of Communication in 2015.
Lam has always kept a constant focus on the intersection of technology, media, and people. Because of his academic and practical training in architecture and photography, he is willing to re-examine and disassemble the process of image production and dissemination. Through joking, poetic, or mischievous methods, he tries to reveal the power mechanism and social construction factors behind this process. In recent creations, his long-term interest in the Internet makes his creative practice naturally transition to digital technology and the related platforms, mechanisms and logic of the data generated. Through multimedia installations, performances and texts, he uses the language of the platform itself and the research methods of “locality” to explore the political and personal implications of these technologies. In the past two years, his works have mainly focused on: (1) online labor dispatch; (2) social platforms and attention economy, and in the process reflect on the history and narrative of early Internet development.
His recent exhibitions are: “Bot or Not”, The Pole Gallery, London, UK (2019); “Intimacy Spills”, Barbican Arts Group Trust, London, UK (2019); Paris Photography Exhibition-Aperture Foundation Photo Book Award Finalist Exhibition, Grand Palais, Paris, France (2019); “HOTSHEET”, Downstairs at The Department Store, London, UK (2019); “40 Years of Chinese Contemporary Photography 1976-2018”, OCAT Shenzhen, Shenzhen, China (2018); “Simultaneous Eidos”, Guangzhou Image Triennial 2017, Guangdong Museum of Art, China (2017); “IMMEASURABLE: 2016 the 8th Three Shadows Photography Award”, Beijing, China (2016); “Open Call Portfolio Winner”, GuatePhoto Festival, Guatemala, Guatemala (2015); “Beyond the Camera”, Pingyao International Photography Festival, China (2015).
