Born in 1978 in Shanghai, he is a musician, artist, and curator who now works and lives in Shanghai. Yin formed the Dead Poets Society in 1998, a slowcore band in which he was the lead singer and also a bassist. He turned to digital music three years later and his musical creation started to cover a wide range, e.g., live music performance, contemporary dance, and physical theatre. Commissioned by individual artists and modern dance groups, Yin’s works have been frequently heard in the performances of Zuheniao (Shanghai), Tanzcompagnie Rubato (Berlin), Guangdong Modern Dance Company, Xie Xing Dance Theatre, Ergao Performance, Guo Rui, and etc. In recent years, Yin started to focus on laptop music performance, field recording, and the functional exploration of music within a social structure.
In the creation of sound art, Yin is known for his philosophical and poetic ideas. His observation and reflection on public space is both acute and deep, and his works are both avant-garde and critical. He proposes the notion of “auditory – sound space” and attempts to establish a working method around this concept, bringing his praxis to the discourse of multi-disciplinary collaborations. In 2020, Yin Yi and Atelier Archmixing co-founded the “HELI-AURAL Studio.”
Yin has participated in many important exhibitions, including “Collection Series” of the Power Station of Art (2025), RAM Assembles (2023), Bi-city Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture, Shenzhen (2022); Echigo-Tsumari Art Field (2018); the 11th Shanghai Biennale (2016); Shenzhen New Media Art Festival (2016); and Sound Art China, Shanghai (2013). He presented his works in many art institutes, including Harvestworks, New York; Power Station of Art, Shanghai; OCT - Contemporary Art Terminal, Shenzhen; UCCA Edge, Shanghai; Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art; Shanghai International Dance Center; Chengdu Art Museum; Sound Art Museum, Beijing; Ming Contemporary Art Museum, Shanghai; Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai; Unsafe + Sound Festival, Vienna; Pingshan Art Museum, Shenzhen; Shanghai Urban Space Art Season; Hong Kong Cultural Centre, and etc.
Since 2011, Yin has been paying close attention to the artistic ecology of experimental music and sound art across China. Activities that he recently curated include: “Formant” (a sound art exhibition), “Sonic Transmission” (exchange project between Shanghai and Hong Kong), “Co-Sound” (sound performance festival), and etc. In 2012, Yin and choreographer Liu Yanan founded an artist-running alternative art space - BM Space. In 2013, he was invited by Rockbund Art Museum to curate “SAVAKA: Asia Experimental Music Currents,” which encompassed performance and conversation made with Asian artists. In 2015, OCT - Contemporary Art Terminal, Shanghai invited Yin to curate an interdisciplinary roundtable titled “Agora.” In 2023, he was invited by Rockbund Art Museum to curate “Composition For” in RAM Assembles. In 2024, he curated the exhibition “Listening Paths: Contemporary Sound Art Practices in China” at Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art. In 2025, he was invited by West Bund Museum as a guest curator for the cultural researcher program “Shanghai Sound.”
For Yin Yi, art is a recipe of self-healing and a touchstone for thoughts and action.
