YICHU 1.0
YICHU 1.0 is an immersive audiovisual live performance and experimental short film by London-based filmmaker and artist Yichu Li.
Blurring the boundary between reality and simulation, the work stages a ritualistic battle between Yichu and her AI-generated alter ego. Mixing DJ/VJ sets with digital stage design, YICHU 1.0 is a cyberfeminist manifesto that explores themes of identity, consciousness, memory, and transformation in the age of artificial intelligence.
The experience unfolds like a digital myth — red-lit womb worlds, glitching goddesses, and machine-gaze spectatorship — inviting the audience to ask: Who holds power in a world shaped by technology?
