The completed digital artworks of the six visionary Prize Winners will be exhibited in a \u2018meta-world\u2019 gallery from now until 31 August 2023<\/em><\/p>\n

New Delhi (India), August 28<\/strong>: Julius Baer, the leading Swiss wealth management group, proudly launches the new artworks by the six winners of the second edition of the Julius Baer Next Generation Art Prize in a unique virtual showcase. This Asian art prize exemplifies Julius Baer\u2019s dedication to supporting the arts and nurturing future talents at the intersection of art and technology.<\/p>\n

The newly completed digital artworks by the Prize Winners are featured within an immersive \u2018meta-world\u2019 that represents a futuristic floating city in Asia. Open from now until 31 August 2023, the audience can view the artworks on the bank\u2019s website or access the virtual exhibition to view the artworks in 3D in an interactive environment while learning about the artists and their creative processes.<\/p>\n

These artworks showcase innovation and delve into human connections in a world increasingly driven by AI, data, and technology. Drawing inspiration from the megatrend themes of Future Cities, Digital Disruption, and Sustainability, these artworks creatively address real-world challenges while illuminating the trends that shape the future.<\/p>\n

The evocative showcase of artworks includes:<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u2018Pathfinder\u2019 by Viraag Desai is an interactive, digital re-envisioning of historical relief, an alternate look at the history of craft through different materials and time periods. Hand- sculpted using Virtual Reality and voxel tools, it pays homage to past sculptors and muralists while examining the impact of the Anthropocene.<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u2018Future Retro Future\u2019 by Andr\u00e9 Wee re-envisions a new retro future as it draws upon nostalgia and offers a counterbalance to technological overload while promoting<\/p>\n

sustainability and cultural heritage and enabling alternative visions of the future.<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u2018Traces of Space Beyond\u2019 by Carla Chan is an ever-evolving visual journey, propelled in real-time by Zurich’s weather, population, and flight data. It portrays the interconnectedness of earthly events and human influence, calling for careful observation and balance between progress and sustainability.<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u2018City in Aether\u2019 by Chan Wan Kyn emphasises pausing to appreciate and reflect on changes in the culture and values of an ever-evolving cityscape. The work is derived from personal and communal data, stimulating contemplation on technology and the role of urban planning in shaping the future.<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u2018Scars, Skins, and Styles: Metamorphosis in the Metaverse\u2019 by Jamela Law is a<\/p>\n

community art project where under-represented individuals co-design empowering<\/p>\n

representations of themselves alongside the artist, using digital fashion technologies to harness the power of Enclothed Cognition as experimental art therapy tools in virtual reality.<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u2018Algorithm Actually\u2019 by Natalie Wong is a digital artwork that uses an individual\u2019s dating app data to generate a 3D motion dynamic artwork, visualising real-time expressions of human connections in the modern dating world. The work explores the role of language in the self-presentation of identity in order to find emotional reciprocity in the digital age.<\/p>\n

As part of the Prize, the winners participated in a three-month Art and Technology Accelerator programme, the first of its kind in Asia, where they completed their artwork based on their winning concept proposals. The programme provided resources and mentorship from the Prize\u2019s panel of industry experts, enabling the artists to develop their ideas and push the boundaries of digital art.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Lee, Member of the Executive Board, Julius Baer Group Ltd and Head Asia Pacific said: \u201cDigital art mirrors Julius Baer\u2019s culture of embracing evolution.
