Emerging Sci-tech Artist Awards

The 2023 second season Emerging Sci-tech Artist Awards is themed Sci-Fi ING, transforming science fiction into an active concept to address the era of significant interplay between technology and human perception. Moving away from categorizing works by form or medium, we focus on three interlinked research areas — AIGC, Gaming, and Study of Metaverse Space — as the guiding keywords for our selection process.

The 2021 first season of Emerging Sci-tech Artist Awards focuses on understanding emerging Chinese artists, industry producers, as well as examining the current state of the art industry. Through a series of processes including open auditions, support, advancement, residencies, exhibitions, and awards, four major prizes under the category of “经史·子·集”(derived from four categories of Chinese history and literature) were ultimately selected and exhibited in Do Not Black Out.
