A large-scale digital art group exhibition featuring 51 artists and collectives from around the world, exploring the rise of AI as a “silicon-based creator.” The show addresses the profound impact of AI, robotics, and Web 3.0 on art, society, and human cognition, reflecting on the emergence of a new civilization where the boundaries between carbon-based (human) and silicon-based (AI) creativity blur. The exhibition positions the technological singularity as both a challenge and a source of inspiration for contemporary art, with artists breaking through creative boundaries and anticipating the transformation of human society.
To accept AI as a new silicon-based creator - to embrace its inspiration, awe, and emotional resonance — is becoming an unprecedented challenge and question in contemporary art. Artists are constantly feeling the dynamic between AI and humanity, reflecting on AI’s profound influence on the future of society. The evolution of silicon-based technology and civilization points toward the future of human life and the long-term viability of human civilization. The emergence of a silicon-based creator is a technological singularity born from the exponential growth of AI, robotics, and Web 3.0. This singularity is destined to forever alter the structure of human existence. We are entering a new era where the boundary between physical and digital is blurred.
