Featured Artworks

Lawrence Lek - AIDOL 爱道 (2019)


AIDOL 爱道 is Lawrence Lek's CGI fantasy sequel narrating the tale of Diva, an AI popstar. Utilizing 3D rendering and gaming software, the story delves into the intricate conflict between humanity and AI. Fame, with its allure and emptiness, unfolds amidst the larger paradoxes of a post-AI world, where originality may be nothing more than an algorithmic trick. In this world, machines possess the capacity for love and suffering, reflecting contemporary concerns like the rise of AI, celebrity formulas, and the dominance of tech giants, all through a quixotic prism. The accompanying score is composed and orchestrated by the artist.


DELTA_ARK - Binah: Forms for Wisdom (2023)


Built in Unreal Engine 5, Binah: Forms for Wisdom is an art game that takes place in a future where human life has mysteriously vanished. Players exist as the last members of humanity, left behind in a ghost world to uncover what became of the species. The game starts on the island of ‘Binah’, a monument which recounts five ages of technological development that led to humankind’s disappearance: Climate Machines, Cryonics, Brain-Computer Interfaces, Genetic Engineering, and Spacefaring. By exploring Binah, players encounter recorded testimony from citizens of each age—like lost whispers from a future-past.
