THREE CURATED THEMES

① Beyond Imagination

Imagination is where AI and art converge. This theme invites artworks that break conventions and defy logic. Let your creativity run wild—construct dreamscapes, surreal worlds, or alternate realities through AI-powered imagination.

Suggested directions:

Surrealism · Fantasy worlds · Hypothetical spaces · Visual experiments · Futuristic creatures

② The Answer of Tomorrow

The future is not fiction—it is unfolding in front of us. In an era where global order is shifting and chaos seems to multiply, art becomes a powerful way to process, question, and respond. This theme invites creators to use AI as a lens to reflect on our collective uncertainty, evolving societies, and the fragile balance of human civilization.

Suggested directions:

Political allegory · Contemporary conflict · Cultural identity · AI and ethics · Environmental crisis

③ Symbioverse

Virtuality is reshaping our sense of being. How do we coexist with digital creations, avatars, and AI-generated environments? This theme explores new relationships between humans and the virtual—not as separation, but as symbiosis.

Suggested directions:

Avatars · Digital ecosystems · Metaverse landscapes · Human-AI integration · Speculative futures
