Dreaming with Pomegranates explores how tradition and innovation intertwine through the transformative power of AI. Taking a blue pomegranate – a timeless emblem of life and abundance – as its starting point, this artwork digitally reimagines this cherished symbol. Subjected to two distinct phases of AI regeneration, the original form evolves into a visual dreamscape, a space where nature, artifice, and technology converge. The piece actively dissolves boundaries: between the tangible object and its digital echo, between established artistic forms and emerging methodologies, between the perceived real and the newly imagined. Ultimately, Dreaming with Pomegranates is a meditation on creative potential. It speaks to how AI can expand our artistic horizons and invite us to dream differently, demonstrating the beauty that arises when we fuse the enduring symbols we value with the forward-looking possibilities of technological innovation.

The Future of Humanity Experience explores how technology is reshaping the human experience by blending digital and physical artworks from global artists into a tangible vision of the future. The experience highlights the potential for human enhancement, where the organic and synthetic not only complement one another but sometimes merge, illustrating how humanity can transcend its current boundaries.

Through diverse artistic perspectives, the show critically examines the risks, ethical dilemmas, and challenges posed by technological progress. This exploration is framed through three distinct lenses – Animasapiens, Transhumans, and Starborns – and offers an invitation to delve even deeper. Learn more here.
