Zihan Iris Li is a Beijing-born U.S.-based artist. She holds a MFA degree in Digital+Media at Rhode Island School of Design, and a Bachelor degree in New Media from School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong. Living and researching in the contemporary collision zone between digital and physical space, Zihan constantly reflects on the way we use technology and the relationship we have with it.
She investigates her anxiety through social communications and her fear of disappearance and senselessness. Her practice imagines possibilities to rethink technology, offering positions beyond complicity or opposition. Through live performance, video and installation, she reveals what happens in cyberspace to the physical world, illuminating our current use of technology by creating absurd scenarios.
