Futuristic | Innovative | Multi-disciplinary

TEA Community has organized the GLOW International New Media Art Festival for four consecutive years now. Each edition brings forward-looking programming that has earned wide acclaim, and we're grateful for your continued support.

In December 2022, even as the world faced the threat of the Omicron variant, the GLOW Festival organizing committee pushed forward with our year-end program, launching the centerpiece event of GLOW 2022 International New Media Art Festival — the online exhibition "AI Medusa: Metaverse." This would not have been possible without the support of the HYPER EX team, along with our partners at Digital FUN and the TEA New Media Community, whose dedication and hard work made the online exhibition hall a reality.

Beyond the AI Medusa Metaverse exhibition, GLOW 2022 International New Media Art Festival features four major program tracks in total: a live online dialogue with Moment Factory, the AI Medusa takeover at Metro City (Meiluocheng), and an offline TouchDesigner workshop centered on AI Medusa.

AI Medusa: Metaverse

AI Medusa is invisible in the ocean of data, freely shuttles between the real and virtual gaps, and constructs a temporary relationship with participants through technological interaction, artistic expression, game experience and participants. Modern people place their thoughts and emotions behind black boxes and are immersed in the invisible ocean space of data. And her prying eyes are everywhere, whether it is physical space, digital screen, mobile device or virtual reality, constantly recording, learning, imitating and controlling. The mental petrification started from the moment he looked at her, as information flowed into every body in the system.

She is a huge spiritual legacy. How can humans who are addicted to the ocean of data continue to stay awake? Surrender, fight, or let your body play freely in the consciousness of AI Medusa? It is a bold idea that artificial intelligence will continue to develop until one day it can be transmitted through consciousness, and in turn control humans, becoming an emotional life form, going deep into reality, and technology may also bring about a chilling future.

AI Medusa @ Meiluocheng

FLARE New Media Art Festival Organizing Committee launched the AI ​​Medusa landing in Metro City plan, inviting artists and friends from the field of interactive multimedia at home and abroad to participate. When artistic energy collides, blends and converges, participants share their professional vision and explore infinite possibilities in the process of expansion and integration.

AI Medusa breaks the established exhibition format, works with artists to create a sustainable metaverse, adapts to the changes brought about by the epidemic, and becomes a key living water in the flow of time through creation. It also expands the next stage of practical momentum for FLARE International New Media Art Festival.

Touchdesigner Workshop

This workshop led participants to participate in a dangerous game with the AI ​​Medusa. Through a combination of radar and projection equipment, we were able to glimpse her figure hidden in the darkness. Radar captures her omnipresent prying eyes among the crowd, while projections map her digital consciousness, inspiring the audience to explore her consciousness.

This workshop was held in Shanghai in conjunction with [Epson China]. Industrial-grade radar scanning is used to capture the audience's touch points, affecting and changing the visual environment brought by the projector, which leads participants to understand how to create an [immersive radar interactive exhibition hall.
