A Global Citizen Currently Based In London
Yichu Li is a multidisciplinary filmmaker, artist, and DJ whose work fuses experimental film, audiovisual performance, and digital art. Based in London, she explores the intersection of technology, identity, and empowerment — crafting immersive, socially engaged narratives through cutting-edge tools like AI, VJing, and VR.
Her latest work, YICHU 1.0, is an award-nominated experimental film and live audiovisual performance exploring digital consciousness and cyberfeminism. It has been officially selected by the AI International Film Festival, the UCCA AI Artist , and received an Honorable Mention at the AI Film Awards Cannes.
Yichu’s first short film, Capture Of, premiered at the Women Without Borders Festival, setting the tone for her commitment to feminist and socially driven storytelling. Her AI-driven music video Yellow Lambo has surpassed 280K views on YouTube, and was honored by the Berlin Music Video Awards and UAL Future Fashion Film Festival, positioning her at the intersection of fashion, music, and new media.

Her work embodies cyberfeminism and reimagines power dynamics through a futuristic lens — giving voice to gendered, racial, and cultural complexity in media.
Through bold visual language and deeply immersive experiences, Yichu builds new digital mythologies that provoke, empower, and resonate across borders. She believes the future of storytelling lies in fusing human expression with emergent technology — crafting journeys that are as unforgettable as they are transformative.
