Biography

Li Yuchen (LYCHEN) was born in Xinjiang, China, in 2001. Li is a cross-disciplinary artist and director whose practice spans experimental theatre, virtual production, digital art, and philosophy-based narrative.

Li’s artistic practice is rooted in an interdisciplinary philosophical narrative that traverses digital visual experimentation, painting, installation, moving image, experimental music, and performance, extending into virtual reality and artificial intelligence. Through cross-media experimentation, his work explores counter-archaeology and ecological evolution.

Li’s works have been exhibited in various cities and art institutions across China and the United Kingdom, including the CAFA Art Museum, the Royal College of Art, and teamLab…
