YICHU 1.0 is a three-part AI-powered experimental short film exploring identity, transformation, and free will in the age of digital consciousness. Drawing from cyberfeminist theory and speculative fiction, the film follows the journey of a protagonist who uploads herself into a terminal, confronting the duality of flesh and code.
Spanning themes of mortality, autonomy, and the future of human existence, YICHU 1.0 invites the audience into a visually rich, emotionally charged world where the boundaries between self and simulation begin to dissolve.
