She has created new type of paper, and penned more than one hundred articles in computer newspaper, international proceedings amd journals. She has had countless exhibitions all over the world. moreover, thanks to the wonders of technology, her works are permanently exhibited everywhere.
How? Simple. The Lin Hsin Hsin Art Museum (www.lhham.com.sg) is a complex beast which boasts all the usual trappings of museums (galleries, sculpture garden, cafeteria, bookstore and toilet) whilst guaranteeing that none of the all-too-common discomforts (noisy crowds, depressing guards and sore feet) will mar the appreciation of art. As you can see by looking at the works featured here, her work is characterized by purity of form and a somewhat ic bent. The highlights of the museum tour is probably digi-salon a surprising animated excursionn through the depths of Hsin Hsin's inner mind. Naturally LIEN conducted the following interview via e-mail

I have spent many hours in her Virtual Art Museum and I know that I will return many more times to find out if there is anything happening because if anything new is happening in the world of digital art, it is happening in Hsin Hsin's space. The visitor is always made welcome at the Museum, and not just computer geeks, nerds or other computer lovers - all are welcome and as Hsin Hsin says "from occasional to serious geeks in virtual space they cohabit.

Picasso rearranged women's faces and invented cubism. When O'Keeffe painted bones in the sky, America discovered the desert.

The Lin Hsin Hsin Art Museum is entirely devoted to her creations, which are mainly oil paintings, works on paper, and poetry. Visitors can also hyperlink to the artist's views on "man & woman," take in a video at "Theatrette," check out the gift shop, and even become a friend of the museum. More adventurous visitors can head straight for "The Toilet," a multimedia exhibit that inspired one visitor to write, "I saw the toilet and I've decided to stay there for the rest of my life.
