Hantao Li is a director, visual artist and architectural designer based in London, currently completing his master's degree at the Architectural Association. With a background in architecture, Hantao's work is informed by a deep interest in the hidden power structures embedded within human infrastructure. His practice merges real footage with computer-generated imagery (CGI), critically exploring the intersection of society, technology, and the environments that shape the human experience.

Through radical and speculative fiction, Hantao envisions alternative realities, inviting audiences to question the landscapes and systems that govern our world. His works often take the form of narrative films co-produced using real-time game engines, incorporating scientific research, and actual footage to create immersive, speculative worlds. Inspired by video games, architectural visualization, and simulations, he uses CGI environments to symbolize complex power dynamics, crafting surreal sequences that both reveal hidden truths and speculate on possible futures.
