Cheng Ran (b. 1981, China) Cheng is one of the most sought after new media artists based in China. His videos often revolve around the unsolvable problems in life, such as identity and mortality. Cheng has received numerous awards and also has previously exhibited in the Istanbul Biennale (2015), Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2014), the New Museum, New York (2016) and the Sydney Opera House, Sydney (2019), K11 Art Foundation (2024).
Sun Bohan(b.1992, China) is a computer art programmer and NFT art curator, he is the founder of SBHStudio and BCA Technology Art. Dedicated to fostering culture integration and interdisciplinary innovation. He has curated several exhibitions, including "Virtual Niche" (2021), the world's first major offline crypto art exhibition in UCCA Beijing, and "Silicon Future·Sci-Tech Generation" (2023), China's first large-scale generative art exhibition. Sun has participated in several exhibitions including K11 Art Foundation, he is a regular speaker at Stanford University, Tsinghua University, and NFTNYC.
Self-miracle (2024), is a generative artwork inspired by Cheng Ran's 9-hour film In Course of the Miraculous (2015).
The film premiered at the Istanbul Biennale in 2015 and received much critical acclaim. Cheng presents a 9-hour film based on three recorded events that end mysteriously as the film develops.
For this generative art project, Cheng has completely renewed his artwork by utilizing experimental film imagery as its visual foundation. Through partnering with Sun Bohan, a reclaimed computer art programmer, they explore the application of algorithms and generative coding techniques, the time element in the film is deconstructed and re-generated, reverting the image back to its simplest forms, patterns and colour fields. This breaks the conventional boundaries of time, allowing each snapshot to be rearranged and regenerated to construct an entirely new temporal landscape. The present work is one of the rarest editions in the series.
