	 “Zoo” is a unique digital work created to continue the dystopian narrative of AI and human interaction prevalent in Chen Man's digital work. Much like Elon Musk's view of "The Singularity" AI event having the potential to wipe out humanity, “Zoo” paints a picture of the world as humanity comes to the end of its days and mother nature is waiting in the wings to reclaim the world for her own.   The artwork “Zoo” presents a powerful reversal of roles, positioning a human within a rectangular glass box and turning a human into an object of observation. This subversion of the traditional observer and observed roles prompts a stark question: what happens when we, as humans, are on the other side of the glass, and the roles of the watcher and watched are inverted?  Silent Noise, Episode 2 – “Zoo”  is a potent reminder of our interconnectedness with the natural world and a call for humility and respect for all life forms as we navigate this complex, changing landscape. Through her thought-provoking artwork, Chen Man prompts us to redefine our sense of self and our role within the grand scheme of life.

Silent Noise, Episode 2

Since the genesis of AI by Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts in 1943 our understanding of creation and creator has been transformed with a new era of life is now upon us. This digital artwork reimagines Chen Man's iconic photoshoot of Grimes as the birth of AI and marks the beginning of a multi-chapter journey.The photograph features Grimes in a striking pose, marking a key moment in contemporary pop culture. This artwork has been widely celebrated for its unique and powerful composition, and featured in numerous exhibitions, including the 2019 "China's Photography: Over 80 Years" exhibition at the National Museum of China in Beijing.

Deeply impacted by the ongoing collective experience of COVID19, visual artist Cory Van Lew has responded to the crisis with a series of paintings and NFTs featuring pandemic-related motifs— anonymous figures in hazmat suits, their faces obscured by masks—uncannily rendered in his signature washes of warm pinks and blues. For the 365 Party, Van Lew will organize an on-site painting performance resulting in 4 unique paintings/NFT pairings, 3 of which will be auctioned to benefit the museum, and 1 of which will enter the museum’s collection.  In this first-ever performance, Van Lew will use live figures in hazmat suits as subject-stencils, directing them through the museum space and rendering their forms with an irreverent process of painterly gesture and chance. The resulting paintings—indexical images that document a specific moment in time and culture—will be minted as NFTs and sold on ICA Miami’s dedicated blockchain platform.
