Elio D'Anna, Co-founder of HOFA Gallery, explains, "With the emergence of new AI models and techniques, a profound technological evolution occurred in 2023. 'New Beginnings' captures the first major works conceived and produced in the post-transition period, juxtaposing them with early era AI creations of immense significance. It effectively narrates the evolution of AI-generated artistry while simultaneously redefining contemporary perceptions of art in the digital age."
‘New Beginnings' showcases a diverse spectrum of mediums and methodologies to reflect on AI's journey and its dual role as both inspiration and instrument in the artistic process. The art creators selected for this showcase are at the vanguard of integrating AI technologies with creative expression through their innovative practices.
Show highlights include:
Niceaunties, a Singapore-based architect and AI artist, who draws inspirations from the rich tapestry of her culture and explores themes of aging, personal freedom and everyday life through generative AI and digital art.
Multi award-winning Sougwen 愫君 Chung, a Chinese-Canadian artist, who is widely regarded as a pioneer in human-machine collaboration. Recognised as one of TIME100's esteemed AI innovators, their MEMORY (Drawing Operations Unit: Generation 2) piece has the distinction of being the first AI model acquired by London's Victoria and Albert Museum.
New York based artist Emily Xie harnesses algorithms to create life like textures and forms, navigating delicate balances between chance and control, and the abstract and representational. Her work has been showcased internationally, including at the Singapore ArtScience Museum and the Armory Show.
Agoria, the visionary artist celebrated for his avant-garde BioGenArt, has captivated the art world with his groundbreaking exhibition at the Musée d'Orsay. As a DJ and a master of digital artistry, he is poised to unveil ‘I Feel Good', a cinematic exploration that weaves together the complex tapestry of AI and humanity, all viewed through the discerning eye of an anthropologist.
Artist Elman Mansimov is a Senior Applied Scientist, who is known for pioneering research in AI. His 2015 alignDRAW project, the first text-to-image model that marked a new era of human-machine collaboration, has been compared to the revolutionary impact of the first fixed photographs in the 1820s.
HOFA, founded in 2012, specialises in curating and showcasing contemporary artworks that blend traditional techniques with digital innovation. The gallery's dedication to merging these elements is symbolic of its broader mission to catalyse a renaissance in art acquisition, connecting the tangible with the digital to enchant a discerning global audience. Similarly, Fellowship aims to bridge the past and present, shaping the future of art by leveraging blockchain technology to introduce art to a new generation of collectors.
Sunny Cheung, who oversees Design & Architecture curation at M+, Asia's first global museum of contemporary visual culture, says in his curatorial statement about ‘New Beginnings', "The recent advancements in AI and generative art processes often feel like magic. Through this exhibition, we explore this magic in AI's evolution and its impact on creative practices. The artists selected have embraced digital tools to create works that reflect new, faster and collaborative production methods. With vast data flows and virtualisation, artists can draw from lived experiences to create new meanings."
He adds "Like all great relationships, we don't necessarily know where the relationship with AI and art is heading, but we are excited by the new possibilities that come with New Beginnings."

CHIANGMAI, The situation of forest fires in Chiang Mai continues to be severe, resulting in high levels of air pollution. This has impacted hotel bookings during the Songkran Festival.
This morning, the level of PM2.5 in Chiang Dao District reached as high as 820 micrograms per cubic meter, ranking it as the worst air quality in the world.
The Chiang Mai skyline remains covered with smoke haze from ongoing forest fires, both from deliberate burning and transboundary haze. This morning, there were as many as 411 hotspots, with Chiang Dao District having the highest number at 83.
According to the weather data center at Chiang Mai University, the PM2.5 level at 7 am in Baan Pangmayao in Chiang Dao District was at 820 micrograms per cubic meter, which is 21 times higher than the standard.
The PM2.5 level at Chiang Mai University was at 254 micrograms per cubic meter, while in the night bazaar rea, it was at 218 micrograms per cubic meter, both reaching unhealthy levels.
The IQAir website also ranks Chiang M
ai as the city with the worst air quality in the world, with an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 207 at 11 am, indicating a purple level warning. People are advised to wear N95 masks when outdoors.
The haze situation continues to affect tourism. Mr. Paisan Sukcharoen, the president of the Northern Thai Hotels Association, revealed that hotel room bookings in Chiang Mai province during the upcoming Songkran Festival period have decreased. Between April 12 and 27, approximately 20,000 rooms have been booked out of a total of nearly 60,000 rooms. This includes bookings for 5-star hotels, which account for nearly 70% of the total. Most tourists are from Europe.
He said one of the reasons for the decrease in bookings may be due to the haze from forest fires. At present, only about 60% of hotel rooms have been booked for the Songkran Festival in mid April, a much lower rate compared to previous years.
However, it is believed that more Thais will book rooms from April 8 to 10, as the government and all sectors are stim
ulating tourism during the Songkran Festival. It is expected that tourists will return, increasing the occupancy rate to 90%. In his own hotels, they are spraying water mist on the building's facade and providing air purifiers in the rooms.
Currently, foreign tourists arrive in Chiang Mai through the airport at a rate of approximately 3,000 people per day, with about 20,000 Thais, bringing the total to more than 20,000 people per day. In March, Chiang Mai earned more than 20 billion baht in tourism revenue.
