The Third 1/3 Monad

"In The Third 1/3 Monad, Lin uses virtual reality software to simulate a series of basic basketball movements. But instead of having viewers experience the athletic mastery of the player, modeled on Chinese American NBA star Jeremy Lin, the artist puts them in the position of the ball—to be bounced around and tossed into the air. Here, the artist draws parallels between the monad, his own career, and that of his namesake, Lin, who has similarly followed a lonely path of striving for excellence against great odds in his chosen profession." - Kyung An
