A long-form generative art collection minted on Verse platform as part of the exhibition "Reconciliation with the Living", 2022

In spite of the terrible challenges that we are bound to endure, we want to embrace our creative energy and the joy to share it.

"Landscape with Carbon Capture is a critique of my own environmental consciousness as an artist working with technology around natural themes. Although I do not know any solution, although I am helpless just like you, I want to fight with what Ive got. I want to acknowledge the great hypocrisy of our times. Carbon emissions are here to stay; they'll stain my canvas, no matter how green the colours on my palette."

By placing our trust in any of the "future techs" to solve todays environmental problems, we run the risk of postponing the actions that mattered. Carbon capture is one of those technologies weve engaged in to give us an impression of action; perhaps, unconsciously, in order to cover up our anguish, our helplessness or our guilt. 

Yet we need to keep moving forward. Art has this kind of energy, charismatic and unifying. If I believe little in technology to save humanity, I keep hope in humanity, in its conscience, in the universality of its love. If only one power is given to artists, it is that of being able to touch, sometimes, the hearts of men.

In a world where we take hundreds of photos to document our lives and curate our memories, Singaporean artists and adolescent friends Shavonne Wong and Lenne Chai are examining if memories, just like images, can be easily manipulated to fit our desired version of the truth.
For this project, Shavonne Wong, an award-winning photographer turned 3D virtual model creator, has collaborated with Lenne Chai, an acclaimed US-based Singaporean fashion photographer to create a series of images depicting an imaginary young girl's transition from girlhood to adolescence, sculpted digitally.
This 3D model is an amalgamation of their younger selves, and is inspired by their upbringing in Singapore. Their virtual teenage character hangs out in her bedroom, makes soap bubbles with a friend, takes naps by the sea shore There is a dream-like quality in the works that underpins an uncanniness to these digitally-crafted realistic pieces.
Echoing a larger trend that questions authenticity in the way we represent and document ourselves, this work takes it a step further to consider the subjectivity of memory. If memories, just like images, can be just as easily manipulated to fit our desired version of truth, then what is real and not?

Themes and Variations by Vera Molnr, in collaboration with Martin Grasser

The illustrious computer art pioneer releases her first and only on-chain generative art project investigating three notorious letter forms that changed the conversation around digital art forever. Themes and Variations is Vera Molnrs personal reflection towards her decades-long practice with the 'machine imaginaire' in the midst of an unforeseen digital art boom brought forward through the introduction of NFTs.

Themes and Variations encompasses a collection of 500 unique generative artworks. Within these works, Molnr passionately explores ideas she has delved into since the late 1960s when she first embarked upon the realm of algorithmic art. Central to her artistic expression is the seamless integration of letters as pure abstract forms, coupled with her affinity for embracing disorder. This deliberate choice grants the machine a certain level of autonomy, allowing it to challenge and even contradict the predefined rules established by Molnr herself. Thus, through this exploration of a dynamic interplay between the artist and the machine, uncharted territories within her creative practice are unveiled.

"All these variations around letters resonate in me like music. Even though I stopped playing the piano at the age of 15, music has never left me. I immediately think of Goldberg Variations or Beethoven's Diabelli Variations on a Waltz. That's why I gave the title Theme and Variations to the latest project with the letters N, F, and T that I am working on for my first and only long form generative art project."
