Profile
Xin Xin is a Taiwanese-American cultural producer exploring community-driven technology in creative and educational spaces. As creator of TogetherNet and co-editor of the Critical Coding Cookbook, Xin advocates for liberatory software culture through the reclamation and subversion of power dynamics embedded within digital systems.
Born in Taipei and raised in Massachusetts, Xin brings a multicultural perspective to questions of technology and sovereignty. An Eyebeam Rapid Response for a Better Digital Future Fellow and Sundance Art of Practice Fellow, their genre-bending practice weaves together art, education, organizing, and technological experimentation—interrogating who controls technology, who benefits from it, and the power of collectives in building a more equitable digital future.
Xin works with Processing Foundation to support open-source software for artists and serves as an Assistant Professor of Interaction and Media Design at the New School, where they work with emerging practitioners to develop critical and socially-engaged approaches to technology and design.
