Yifan's practice comprises coding, object-making, editing, and performing. There is a disquieting aesthetic inherent in her works, fuelled by the gestural displacements of mundane objects (electronics) and poeticised actualisations of everyday rituals. She recasts, rearranges, and reconfigures materials such as electrical appliances, discarded pieces of furniture, and family event recordings, into clusters of cause and effect circuits. Spectators may find electric cords dangling, video projections overlapping, computer- programmed models flowing chaotically on the screen, dodging the cursor, performance scripts laying on a dinner table, and poems self-generating and overlapping into an unreadable blur. Her installations, at their grandest, are forced material poetry of which the meaning can never bypass the formality.
