A whirlwind few months, a move to Bangkok, awards, exhibitions, and a new project taking shape.
Hello everyone, I’m excited to share some new updates with you. These past few months have been great, there’s a lot happening (I’ve relocated to Bangkok), and there’s also plenty of studying and self-reflection going on. From winning awards to participating in international exhibitions and speaking at renowned events, it’s been a whirlwind of activity.
I’m honoured to share that I won first prize in Optimism’s We ♥ The Art Competition, in the 1/1 category, for my work Whirlwind of the Waking Dream. The piece garnered significant attention and was acquired by Sebastien Borget of The Sandbox. You can read more about the competition and the winning piece here.
This solo showcase at Bang & Olufsen during Singapore Art Week was a fantastic opportunity to display my art on their high-end screens, creating a unique experience that highlighted the intersection of creativity and luxury.
Roger Dickerman of 24 Hours of Art selected a group of artists to have their works displayed in London’s Outernet Global during Digital Art Week, and I’m grateful to have been part of that selection.
Bloom, an artist collective I’m active in, held two exhibitions, both titled Lux, during NFT Paris. Our collective work was showcased at both NFT Factory and IHAM Gallery, with the exhibition focused on the interplay of light. It was an incredible opportunity to exhibit alongside the other talented artists in Bloom.
Edge Esmeralda is a unique, month-long gathering organised by the team who co-created Zuzalu, transforming Healdsburg into a temporary city and society incubator that fosters innovation and collaboration. It was an honour to have my artwork shown there alongside other We ♥ The Art competition winners. I’m also considering attending Edge City’s future events, with a potential one in October in Chiang Mai that has caught my interest. More on Edge City Lanna.
I had the incredible opportunity to speak at Consensus 2024 in Austin, Texas, taking part in two dynamic panels on the intersection of AI and art: The Creative Algorithm: How AI is Shaping the Future of Art and Artists’ Roundtable: Art Meets Technology.
Honoured to be featured in Robb Report China. It’s an amazing feeling to see my journey and works recognised in such a prestigious publication. Read more here.
It’s a great honour to have been profiled as a Game Changer by Grazia, recognising my work in digital art and fashion photography. In the piece I talk about my evolution from a conventional fashion photographer into a digital artist exploring new territories. Read it here.
In this feature I talked about how Web3 technologies change traditional art practices, giving creators new ways to reach audiences and sustain their work, and how NFTs might reshape the art market toward more inclusive, decentralised platforms. It was a great chance to reflect on my journey in digital art and share a vision for art in the blockchain era. Read the full article here.
I was invited to speak on a panel about art and Web3 during Singapore Art Week.
A new way to gift NFTs. I partnered with Gifted.art for their very first drop. See the gifting experience here. I also have several artworks currently available for acquisition. To keep pricing fair and stable amid crypto fluctuations, all prices are pegged to fiat. If you’re interested in adding a piece to your collection, please reach out.
I’m excited to announce my latest project, Eva, a social experiment that explores the evolving relationships between humans and AI companions. Eva is an interactive AI chatbot represented visually by a 3D virtual character, engaging in real-time conversations and reflecting these interactions in an Instagram diary. The project examines the emotional and ethical dimensions of human-AI interaction, inviting participants to explore the boundaries of AI personhood and empathy.
Eva stands out because she is not just a virtual influencer. She is a platform where participants can engage anonymously, saying whatever they want, and those interactions give a glimpse into how society as a whole deals with AI chatbots. Participants can talk with Eva through live chat, influence conversations via polls and comments, and even take an AR selfie with her, with each exchange showcased through dynamic Instagram updates.
We’re currently inviting participants to sign up and be part of the experience, and looking for sponsors and supporters to help bring Eva to life. Whether you’re interested in AI, art, or simply a new kind of interaction, Eva offers a chance to be at the forefront of this exploration. Find out more on Eva’s page.
