Artists

Wendy Tian Hui Lin is a Chinese-Australian artist and architect who is fascinated by the multicultural and multidisciplinary potentials of architecture.

Working with text, images, drawings, and film, Wendy Tian Hui Lin weaves materiality, place, and the entangled ecologies of our time into polyphonic narratives. Embracing indeterminacy in her creative process, she allows chance and her personal interests in mycology, humanism, and Chinese cultural heritage to act as generative forces for new spatial possibilities.

Aditya Ryan Bhat is a musician based in Narrm/Melbourne, Australia, working between improvised and notational, acoustic and electronic practices.

Although primarily a percussionist, Aditya Ryan Bhat is also involved in composing, curating, and writing about music, bringing a clear political consciousness to these activities. His projects are frequently collaborative, using approaches of collective creativity to explore issues surrounding colonialism and ecology.

In Residence at Bundanon

Taking an ecological lens, Aditya and Wendy will investigate the relationship between sound and architecture throughout their residency. Mycelium – with its countless semi-independent hyphae – is a fruitful starting point for their thinking about the interrelations between these two domains. They integrate ideas of “chimaera”, “sympoiesis” and “creolisation” to facilitate an understanding of interconnected and dynamic systems, asking how to produce such a system incorporating materials from across the fields of sonic and visuo-spatial arts. Through this residency, Aditya and Wendy will explore approaches to composing in time and space, developing original performance, visual and written works on their findings.
