About

Lim E-Lynn Joanne, also known as Joanne Lim (b.1985) is a Singapore-based artist, who graduated from Lasalle College of the Arts with a BA in Fine Arts (First Class). Since then, she has been nominated for the Takifuji Art Award 2021 and received the Lasalle Award for Academic Excellence and Winston Oh Travelogue Award in 2022.

She is interested in translating and visualizing data that she collects in long-term projects that involve collaboration with the community. Joanne's practice delves into conveying data and experiences in aesthetic forms, as a way of presentation through numerous mediums intertwined to address these current social issues. 

Essentially, Joanne takes the position of an ordinary citizen engaged in varying forms of ‘gentle resistance’, her way of bringing attention and discourse to current social issues affecting different groups of Singaporeans or individuals residing in Singapore.

Joanne is also part of Mouse Click Click, a Singapore-based art collective that seeks to bring together the disciplines of art, science, and technology.
