Control,  Animation,5’27”, 2021

This work was a video with a mixture of animation, real shots, and special effects. Yunqiu’s Avatar completed the transition from human to posthuman to cyborg. But it seemed to be monitored and controlled by someone outside the screen.

Yunqiu has been thinking about How Posthumanism is facing up to the huge impact of science and technology on body shape and the great expansion of diversification on body concept. Then, she created her own posthuman avatar based on her actual face, which performs in the digital world. The flat body, uncertain gender, Hunched-back, and baldhead were designed by her based on scientists’ prediction of the future of human.
