His works, such as *important_message.mp4* (2019–20) and *What Is Your Favorite Primitive* (2023), use deliberately imperfect, doll-like avatars to evoke feelings of unease and cognitive dissonance related to internet culture, conspiracy theories, and digital mediation. For the 2024 Venice Biennale, Li presents *Screen Melancholy*, a 60-minute video installation that reflects on the transformation of the internet from a utopian space to one dominated by algorithms and subscription models, embodying a generational sense of loss and critical inquiry into digital realities. His aesthetic embraces “workarounds” and material limitations as metaphors for navigating and interrogating the complexities of digital image production today. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of ArtAsiaPacific is the property of ArtAsiaPacific Holdings Ltd. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
