Yuwei Lin is a sociologist specialised in science and technology studies. Her work endeavours to understand digital co-production cultures, socio-technical dynamics within and across these open, distributed, de-centralised, crowd-sourced, audience-led, user-participatory, community-based innovation systems.
Her recent research interests concentrate on critical data studies, observing the big data, open data, algorithmic cultural phenomenon and related issues such as privacy, surveillance, automated discriminations by artificial intelligence (AI).
Additionally, she continues to develop her research avenue into socio-technical practices around hacking and co-production, and 'prosumption'. Queering hacker studies is one of the tasks on the agenda.

She is also exploring and experimenting how performance-led / art-led, sensory / experiential, creative methods can serve the purpose of gather good-quality data that can reflect the sophisticated interactions and relationships in increasingly ubiquitous digital environments.
