Interestingly, November 2009, Lin was invited to participate in "The year of Astronomy" Exhibition held in the Metz Technopole, Moselle, 🇫🇷 for the 40th anniversary of Man landed on Moon
This event was supported by:
🇫🇷 The Ministry of Research & Technology of France
🇫🇷 The Office of the Cultural, Scientific and Technology of Lorraine, France
🇫🇷 The Metz Urban Area (CA2M) as part of the "Science Festival"
Lin was the only real digital artist from Singapore invited for this event with a mandatory requirement of the artist's background in both mathematics & digital Sculptures. Indeed, Lin's first forray into digital sculptures -and 3D printing originated in Paris, 1999, while this technology was still in its infancy! This exhibition in France was a double joy for Lin, because Lin was invited to diner with Buzz Aldrin, the 2nd man landed on the moon, 1989!
Over the years, Lin has met several astronauts from 🇪🇺 and 🇺🇸. She has visited 3 space stations in USA, and even witnessed a minute silence, on the 10th anniversary for the Challenger's mission, enroute to the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, January 28, 1996, 11:39:13 EST.
