2024 Future Media FEST 

This year’s Future Media FEST, a culmination of C-LAB curatorial team’s meticulous planning and passionate discussions through regular curatorial meetings, collaborates to fulfill the promise kindled three years ago. The exhibition’s diverse collection of artworks, thoughtfully curated into four thematic chapters—”Flowing Anchor,” “Transformation of Creativity,” “Creator’s Insight,” and “AI Ongoing”—to explore the intricate dance between artificial intelligence and humanity from multifaceted perspectives.  

Within these thematic chapters, artists unveil their explorations and contemplations on the enigmatic Singularity. Leveraging cutting-edge creative technologies—motion capture, algorithmic character and scene generation, game engines, and AI-powered programming languages, they have crafted works that transcend traditional artistic boundaries, offering us a glimpse into uncharted creative territories. These paradigm shifts in the creative process promise to deliver unprecedented audiovisual experiences that challenge our perceptions and stimulate profound introspection.  

The exhibition showcases 26 captivating works by 23 groups of artists hailing from 9 countries. Each artist, with their unique creative vision, demonstrates the boundless potential of artificial intelligence in the realm of art. As visitors engage with the exhibition’s interactive installations, they will tangibly experience how technology is reshaping our understanding of the world and our place within it. At this pivotal moment, technology transcends its role as a mere tool; it emerges as a driving force, shaping the contours of our collective future.
