Helen Yin is a contemporary artist exploring the intersection of humanity and artificial intelligence. Her work examines AI as a social presence rather than a distant technology - one that increasingly shapes perception, behaviour, and identity.
Yin’s work questions coexistence, authorship, and ethical responsibility in an algorithm-driven world. Instead of framing AI as purely utopian or dystopian, she presents it as a reflection of human values and intentions. Bringing artistic intuition with computational awareness, Yin’s practice invites viewers to consider how artificial intelligence may live among us - and how humanity may be reshaped in the process.
Before becoming an artist, Yin holds a degree in computer science from the University of British Columbia and has worked professionally as an engineering manager. Yin’s background, rooted in logic, structure, and machine intelligence, allows her to approach art through the lens of human intention and machine agency, where precision and emotion coexist.
By integrating computational processes into artistic creation, Yin treats technology not only as a tool but as a subject - questioning how algorithms influence perception, decision-making, and meaning. Her work investigates the evolving nature of the relationship between humans and technology, examining themes of authorship, identity, and control in an increasingly automated world.
