The digital arts co-created by blockchain artist Song Ting and Cortex Labs are the world’s first set of blockchain-based AI and human collaboration encrypted artworks. The works will be shown for the first time in the exhibition, “Alice with the Mirror of Computing Power”, hosted by Ting and Cortex Labs. The exhibition is set to open on November 25.

Ting has previously sold her artwork, “Inverse Cyber Church and Bazaar”, which was created with AI on the painting “Skin Color Ba “Bita” NFT. It was sold for 3.5 ETH at the first-ever blockchain-based human and AI collaboration art exhibition within China hosed by Planet Daily..

The idea of Alice was taken from the first person in cryptographic interpretation — What would Alice, the little girl, see when she picks up the mirror of computing power, AI or humanity?

Can a bionic person dream of an electronic sheep?
Can AI use Alice’s hand to express the world in its imagination?
Can Alice let AI and humans act together in a play that metaphors the future in the sandbox?
Can Alice let AI and humans build the Tower of Babel?
Is the Tower of Babel our “way” to calculating truth?

When AI can present itself transparently instead of silently under the direction of human beings, what is the meaning behind this?
When AI is entangled in human desire and reduced to a tool for a few people to interfere with more people’s consciousness, does it make itself and humans lose their original spirituality?

Is anthropocentrism only reflected in the social structure of humans and animals, and humans and aliens?
Has AI collapsed into a projection of humans looting and taking advantage of people with greed?
Is the human tyranny of AI only embodied in science fiction movies? Or is it already within reality?

There are currently 36 AI models on the Cortex blockchain. They are completely open and cannot be deceived, allowing every user who can use the Internet to view them.

Cortex Labs and Ting hope that we can view the world through the power of machines. We believe that the power that can break through the limitations of the original definition is after breaking the boundary.

If we understand the world and always proceed within the security framework that has been explained, do we sit and watch the sky in the “interval rationality” puzzle?

“Alice with the Mirror of Computing Power” is just a glimpse of what the future holds. The imagination and the mirror of computing power help us draw its full picture little by little. In addition, Cortex Labs will continue working with Ting to conduct several art practices dedicated to data fairness and AI transparency, and promote the technological renaissance on the blockchain.
