SUMMARY:Art Gallery Talks 2
DESCRIPTION:Art Gallery\n\nTheme: Neither Utopia Nor Dystopia\n\nAt SIGGRA
 PH Asia 2024 in Tokyo, the Art Gallery seeks to present groundbreaking and
  impactful creations that intersect art, science, technology, society, and
  the environment. In an era of information saturation, where the essence a
 nd veracity of matters may blur, we champion concrete expressions to reaff
 irm our reality, moving beyond mere idealism.\n\nThe theme “Neither Utopia
  Nor Dystopia” eschews the stark dichotomy often portrayed between utopian
  and dystopian extremes, crafting a realm for patient engagement with the 
 manifold aspects of reality and fostering the gradual maturation of values
 . This thematic direction nudges artists to uncover the subtle allure, int
 ricacy, and profundity inherent in our day-to-day lives, urging them to cr
 aft palpable visions.\n\nThrough the distinctive lenses of artists, we asp
 ire to recalibrate our perception of the interplay between society, the en
 vironment, and technology, thereby enriching our collective comprehension.
  We envisage a tapestry of works that, at times, unveil hidden truths and 
 beauties, and at other times, navigate the intricate web of emotions and r
 elationships, culminating in a corporeal portrayal of our world. In alignm
 ent with these themes, the SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 Art Gallery casts a wide net
 , eagerly soliciting a spectrum of artistic endeavors, spanning artworks, 
 projects, performances, platforms, and communities.\n\nJoin us at the SIGG
 RAPH Asia 2024 Art Gallery in Tokyo, Japan, as we question, explore, and e
 ngage with the intricate and multifaceted realities of our times.\n\nCarbo
 n Farm\n\nContribute your CO2 to Carbon Gardener. Our system captures and 
 feeds it to algae, which we harvest and convert into bioplastics. Our syst

 a powerful grassroots bio-production ingredient.\n\n\nJiabao Li (Universit

 \n\nEvent Modeling consists of two works (#dump and AI Fossil) that scrape
  social media text to generate 3d sculptures within simulated virtual and 
 interactive environments.  Real-time social media posts trigger correspond

 ang Wu (China Academy of Art)\n---------------------\nAttraction of image\
 n\nThis work contrasts AI generated images of "Enoshima", a famous tourist
  destination in Japan, with photos taken by imitating them locally. These 
 images are uploaded to SNS. The cycle of AI generating ideal realities and
  returning images that imitate them back to the Internet accelerates bias 
 and ide...\n\n\nAsuka Ishii and Kazuki Nagata (Keio University)\n---------
