李万博 LI, Wanbo
also known as Ember
She/They

Ember Wanbo Li is a London-based interdisciplinary artist and visual designer working across installation, moving image, audiovisual performance, live visuals, concert, theatre, spatial practice, and experimental image-making. Their work moves between gallery, performance, stage, and expanded visual contexts, exploring resonance, material transformation, sensory perception, and the relationships between image, sound, space, and the body.

Ember works with vibration, light, sound, fluid materials, projection, responsive systems, and process-based image-making. Drawing on scientific experimentation, alchemical thought, mysticism, and natural philosophy, she approaches materials and images as active processes rather than fixed forms. A recurring concern within their practice is how invisible or imperceptible phenomena can be made perceptible through shifts in scale, movement, resonance, trace, and material transformation. Their work often develops through processes of translation, registration, and real-time response, allowing physical forces and temporal change to shape both the production and experience of the work.

Recent projects have been presented at the National Gallery of Armenia, The State Philharmonia of Armenia, HayArt Centre, and Guyuan Art Museum, alongside independent exhibitions, performances, concerts, and collaborative projects internationally.

Ember holds an MA in Art and Science with Distinction from Central Saint Martins, a Postgraduate Diploma in Design for Visual Communication from London College of Communication, and a BEng in Printing Engineering from Beijing Institute of Graphic Communication.
