Night Museum - Post Life

On CHAO Art Center, in collaboration with BMAB Beijing Media Art Biennale, organizes the second Night Museum with the theme of "Post-Life". New media artists from various fields will create a night of art revelry, immersing themselves in the atmosphere of "post-life" and experiencing how, under the influence of the rapid development of bio generation, artificial intelligence and robotics, and in the context of post-humanity theories, the ancient concept of "life" is expanding and extending, and how human beings are expanding and extending their relationship with those on earth. Under the influence of the rapid development of bio generation, artificial intelligence and robotics, and in the context of the increasingly popular post-human theory, the ancient concept of "life" has been expanded and extended, as well as the subtle changes in the "non-anthropocentric" mentality of human beings in coexistence with other species on earth.

Through a series of audio-visual performances, the event will feature virtual life in algorithms, bionic life based on mechanical structures, and bionic life as an intermediary between the concepts of data life, mechanical life, and synthetic life, in three dimensions. The three dimensions of "Data Life", "Mechanical Life" and "Synthetic Life" will illustrate the meaning of "Post-Life" in an all-round way with virtual life in algorithms, bionic life based on mechanical frameworks, and synthetic life as a fuzzy boundary between the definition of life.

Types of works include, but are not limited to, moving images, interactive installations, immersive art, bio-art, mechanical installations, sound visualization, cyber art, sound art and mixed media.
