2022最新創作《當代藝術vs當代藝術-格式化再格式化，複寫再覆寫。》出現三個我們十分熟悉的符號：安迪沃荷《槍 Gun》、日本藝術家草間彌生（Yayoi Kusama）的經典創作符碼-南瓜，以及象徵世界和平的符號，三者在符號意指上產生的辯證，讓林俊彬扣回到當代藝術關於「權力」與「話語」的思考，他在作品概念上提出的「格式化」與「複寫」更進一步指的是關於當代人們對文化符碼的理解，往往是在去中心帶來的平等待遇之外，意識狀態也逐漸傾向於「物件化」的思惟，解讀各個來源不同的文化符碼，它們作為「東西」的流行性本質。藝術家認為：「好的東西會被時代給留下，就像安迪沃荷使用通俗符號後，消弭了高低藝術的界線，不同的文化背景、人種...等，在藝術的世界裡，做出了和解與合併，處理我們的思想，這些符號成為我們文明進程中的養分。」

林俊彬意識到雕塑創作的本質不在技藝體現的技術，而是在於材料重組與分配的思考技術，因此他的創作不著重一種可被規整的個人風格，而是提出一套有效的解構方法，能夠對社會文化現象提問，並且為藝術提供解方。權力的鬥爭在這個時代始終存在著，《當代藝術vs當代藝術-格式化再格式化，複寫再覆寫。》畫面中的手槍打出來不是子彈，而是解藥，分別象徵『經濟』與『包容』，回應著如今的烏俄戰爭等世界局勢，這如同解藥般的存在，提醒我們。

Lin Chun-Pin’s latest 2022 work Contemporary Art vs Contemporary Art: Formatting after Formatting, Copying and Overwriting displays three symbols that are very familiar, Andy Warhol’s Gun, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s classic creative element, the pumpkin, and the symbol of world peace. The dialectic formed by the meaning of the three symbols pulls the focus of Lin’s works back to the subject matter of “power” and “discourse” in contemporary art, while the concept of “formatting” and “copying” that the artist proposes further references how contemporary people tend to “objectify” when understanding cultural symbols and their different origins as popular “things” after equality allowed by decentralization. The artist believes: “Good things will be preserved through time, just like how Andy Warhol eliminated the distinction between high and low art through popular symbols. Different cultural backgrounds and races are reconciled and integrated amid the world of art, processing our thoughts; the symbols become nourishment that propels civilization forward.”

Lin is aware of the fact that the essence of sculpture is not the manifestation of craft but the technique of rearranging and assorting materials. Therefore, his works do not stress distinctive personal style but propose an effective approach of deconstruction that can raise questions about sociocultural phenomena and provide solutions to art. The battle for power has always existed in the time we live in, and shot through the gun in Contemporary Art vs Contemporary Art: Formatting after Formatting, Copying and Overwriting are not bullets but cures that represent and remind us of “economy” and “inclusivity,” responding to the state of worldly affairs such as the Russia-Ukraine war.
