Kin Lam (b.1993| He Him) is a Hong Kong percussionist and sound artist. Through DIY instruments, improvisation, sound installation, audio-visual performance and compositions, Kin tries to expand the possibility for his music practice as well as explore the application of sound in different fields. In recent years, Kin dives in the intersection between sound, light, and technology to create new works. Elements such as indeterminacy and randomness are seen in his works as Kin enjoys the unpredictable situation when interacting with his works.
Kin Lam holds a Master's degree in Fine Art (Sound Art) from School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and a Bachelor’s degree in Percussion Performance from Sam Houston State University.

Artist Statement
When I was a kid, my friends were Legos and toy figures. I loved to play with them, to reimagine them, and of course that also came with a lot of deconstructions. For me, deconstruction is a way to understand an object in small details. I guess that has an influence to me to seek for answer through breaking, making, touching, and observing . "Alternative" and "Hacking" are also two fundamental attitudes for myself as they both resist the ordinary ways of seeing the world. Finding an alternative view can help us to reimagine the world, to Hack is to get inside the system and try to repurpose for you.
