Digital Ghosts
Flusser, Vampyroteuthis and Li Yi-Fan’s Virtual Memories
This paper examines Taiwanese artist Li Yi-fan’s work “howdoyouturnthison” (2021) as a case study to explore how the artist invents and interrogates the use of digital toolkits as instruments for producing images and as means of reshaping reality and generating memories. Li employs a game engine and real-time images to design and create virtual avatars that move freely in a virtual space, unconstrained by physical limitations. Utilizing virtual reality (VR) headsets and body controllers, Li assumes the roles of director, actor, voice actor, and photographer, intuitively and sensually manipulating and capturing these dynamic images. His creative process emphasizes that digital tools are not merely instruments for image generation but also tools for reshaping reality and crafting new memories, challenging traditional methods of image production through the manipulation of virtual space.
