YICHU 1.0 is a cyberfeminist manifesto expressed through a dynamic fusion of a three-chapter short film and a live audiovisual performance. This project explores the intersection of human identity and digital existence, questioning the power dynamics of control, autonomy, and self-representation in a world shaped by technology. The battle between Yichu Li’s physical self and her AI counterpart becomes a metaphor for the conflict between body, mind, and soul, challenging audiences to confront the complexities of identity in the digital age. Blending speculative fiction with cyberfeminism, YICHU 1.0 redefines what it means to be human in an algorithm-driven world, offering an immersive experience that pushes the boundaries of both art and technology.
