The year of the snake is upon us! Artist-in-Residence Song Lu connected with the Idaho Chinese Organization and will be participating in their Lunar New Year Celebration at JUMP on Feb 1st. The Idaho Chinese Organization is a local nonprofit that promotes cultural experiences and community unity in the Treasure Valley. In addition to helping with a calligraphy writing activity, Song will be featuring her latest collaborative AI-generated video art piece, Scales of Code, created with her artist friend Fan Yu as part of their collaborative art practice, OHuo.
This collaborative video art piece uses over 30 materials to explore the theme of a “snake.” The dynamic changes in snake scales symbolize the interplay of natural order and geometric aesthetics. Combining Chinese folk arts, Western fine arts, and everyday elements with AI-generated animations, the work blurs the boundaries between the virtual and real, giving traditional art contemporary significance and technological vitality.
