Carmen Llin
b. 2002, Ontinyent
Carmen Llin (allegedly Tao Lin’s daughter, born in Chernobyl, 2002) is a multimedia artist working across installation, painting, video, performance, internet art, and textile sculpture. A recent graduate of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, her practice explores the blurred boundaries between dreams and reality, often navigating themes of memory, desire, femininity, internet culture, and death.
Her current work investigates the aesthetics of apocalyptic fiction through video and installation, combining classical iconography with digital detritus. With a tone that veers between irony and melancholy, Llin’s practice dissects the absurdity of nostalgia and the collapse of coherent narratives in a hyper-mediated age.
Merging raw emotion with surreal humour, her work reflects a collapsing personal mythology—where sincerity, satire, and longing coexist uneasily. Her pieces often read like poetic monologues, love letters, and existential memos from the edge of digital consciousness.
