Li Yi-Fan: Error and Effigy
Taiwanese artist Li Yi-Fan, born in 1989 and based between Taipei and Amsterdam, creates unsettling digital marionettes using modified game engines and digital puppetry. His pale, chalky figures with uncanny proportions discuss voyeurism, sexual fantasies, philosophy, memes, and computer programming, often resembling the artist himself. Li works a nine-to-five schedule, spends hours on computer games as research, and describes himself as 'probably the most boring artist.' His practice relies on free or subscription software and purchased digital assets, staging what it feels like to make digital art within platform systems and corporate infrastructure.
