李维伊
简介Biography
李维伊（Li Wei Yi）1987年出生于长沙，先后在同济大学获得艺术设计学士学位（2009年）、耶鲁大学艺术学院获得平面设计硕士学位（2012年），并于皇家艺术学院获得设计工程博士学位（2020年）。她是一位艺术家、设计师、策展人、出版人及杂货店主，同时生活和工作在五个网页链接中。她的许多作品源于对数十年来作为设计师和图像制造者的反思，探讨图像制造产业中的残酷、以图像为媒介的沟通中的效率与延迟，以及在日益相似的数码图像工具和建造工具统治下，创造者如何继续创作。在创作和接受观众反馈的过程中，她确认艺术可能是唯一将人类关联起来的机会，因为它承认“不被肯定的事物”甚至“错误理解的事物”的力量；她认为在当前世界中，往往是“误解”而非“全然的理解”能让不同文化背景的人走到一起并创作出新事物。现工作生活于北京、长沙。
Weiyi Li was born in Changsha City, China, in 1987. She received a BA from the College of Architecture & Urban Planning, Tongji University (2009), an MFA from Yale College of Art (2012) and a doctorate from the Royal College of Art (2023). Much of her work has been influenced by her decades-long career as a designer and image-maker. She has reflected on the brutalities of the image industry, the efficiencies and delays of image-mediated communication and the question of how we, as creators, can continue to create in a world dominated by increasingly similar digital image tools and fabrications. As she creates art and receives feedback from audiences, she recognises that art may be the only means by which we can all be united as human beings, for it may be the only place in the world where the power of what is not affirmed and what is misunderstood is still acknowledged. In today's world, misunderstanding, rather than complete understanding, may be what brings people from different cultures together to create new things.

代表作与创作Selected Works & Style
李维伊（Li Wei Yi，1987年出生于长沙）是一位跨领域艺术家，其创作融合了设计师、图像制造者和策展人的多重视角档案中未记录其逝世纪录，故应为在世艺术家。她的作品多源于对数十年来作为设计师和图像制造者角色的反思，探究图像制造产业中的残酷、以图像为媒介沟通中的效率与延迟，以及在数码工具日益趋同的背景下，创作者如何继续制造差异。她认为艺术可能是唯一能将人类关联起来的机会，因为它承认“不被肯定的事物”甚至“错误理解的事物”的力量——在当前世界中，“误解”往往比“全然的理解”更能使不同文化背景的人走到一起并创造新事物。其常用媒介包括影像、摄影、版画、装置等，代表性作品如《海螺系列04》《窗外是弗洛伦萨，桌上是死——众生》《梦》《迟早》系列等。
Li Wei Yi’s practice spans video, photography, prints, mixed media, installation, and sculpture, often rooted in experimental and conceptual approaches. Her work consistently interrogates the machinery of image-making — its ruthlessness, the efficiency and delay inherent in image-mediated communication, and how creators can continue making when digital tools for both imaging and construction become increasingly homogenized.
Representative works include the *Conch* series (2023, digital video installations), which explores optical and spatial illusions through digital means; *Outside the Window Is Florence, on the Table Is Death — All Beings* (2019, archival digital print), a layered still-image piece that collides interior domesticity with art-historical grandeur; *Dream* (2020, archival digital print); and the *Sooner or Later* series (2020, stainless steel gilded with archival digital prints), where gilded surfaces and photographic images merge to reflect on value, time, and the circulation of images. Another significant work is *Figure Study* (2020, archival digital print), which probes the construction and deconstruction of bodily icons. The *Back* series, such as *Back: Lu Xun* (2026, archival digital print), continues her investigation into how historical and cultural figures are consumed through their reproduced images.
Her aesthetic is conceptual and often deadpan, using crisp digital production to dismantle the authority of the image. Li Wei Yi treats misunderstandings, rather than perfect comprehension, as a generative force — a way for people from different backgrounds to converge and create something new. This conviction threads through her work, making her art both a critique of contemporary visual culture and a proposal for connection through shared misreadings.
