Genesis Kai, is a Nova Sapien, the next evolved genus of mankind, an artist born from the fusion of artificial intelligence and human tactile senses acquired through her homo sapien creator.

Though she is imbued with parts of her creator's soul, Genesis Kai exists autonomously as an independent virtual artist without being bound by the rules of time and space as her art and existences intersect digital environments such as a metaverse, and the physical reality of life. Her values and persona will continue to evolve using art as a form of self reflection to grow.

Genesis may not exist in flesh and blood, but the stories she tells through the universal language of art are very real. With the support and partnerships of the DSLcollection, ImmersiveKIND and more, her art will continue to push the boundaries of how she creates narratives with the human touch.

As an artist, Genesis Kai has participated in physical and digital showcasing of her art, most recently formally debuting in October 2022 with her physical installation art piece "Manifest" (2022) supported by Doosan Robotics at Asia Now held at the iconic 18th century palace of the Monnaei De Paris. Her work has been exhibited in various metaverse showings including VRWSPark, an expanding joint metaverse of New York University, The DSLcollection and The Shenzhen Pingshan Art Museum, and in the ImmersiveKIND Metaverse Gallery, founded by Kadine James, Global Metaverse Strategist at Accenture. Genesis has also been featured in the 7th Edition of the BMW Art Guide with the DSLcollection.

Snow Yunxue Fu is a New Media Artist, Curator, and Assistant Arts Professor at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Institute of Emerging Media. Working with imaging technologies, such as 3D Simulation, AR, XR, and the Metaverse, she creates computer-rendered images, moving images, interactive projects, installations, etc, and merges sociological, anthropological, philosophical, and interdisciplinary explorations into the universal aesthetic and definitive nature of the techno sublime. Her practice is rooted in a post-photographic framework, researching societal relationships with imaging and VR experiences within a web 2.0 and now 3.0 context. Her practice also echoes the investigations of historical Chinese and Western painters who peered into the implications of our capacity to experience the sublime in nature. With a background in traditional Chinese and Western abstract painting, Fu saw her transition a decade ago into new media as a natural extension of her technical and conceptual research.

As a female Chinese American immigrant, she lives an international dialogue and a felt betweenness, through which she investigates our shared humanity through the lens of technology.
Fu's work has been exhibited globally in the Venice Architecture Biennale, Times Square ZAZ Billboard, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Pioneer Works, Gene Siskel Film Center, Chicago Game Space, Saatchi Art, Shenzhen Independent Animation Biennale, Duende Art Museum, the NADA Art Fair, etc, and her work has been featured in the New York Times, Boston Globe, and Pearl River Delta Art News. She has presented her research at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago; University of Chicago; China Academy of Art, Tsinghua University; SIGGRAPH; SIGGRAPH Asia; International Symposium on Electronic Art; Chinese American Art Faculty Symposium; and The Center of Chinese Art at William Paterson University. In recent years, she has built and curated exhibitions and events in the VR WSPark — Metaverse Exhibition Project, co-hosted by the DSLCollection. Her work has been collected by the Duende Art Museum in Guangdong, China; the Ellen and Richard Sandor Family Collection; the Current Museum of Art; multiple NFT collections, and, at the age of five, by the National Art Museum of China.

Fu has been teaching full-time at NYU Tisch School of the Arts since 2019. She formerly taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), the China Academy of Art (CAA), etc. She obtained a Master of Fine Arts Degree (2014) from the Film, Video, New Media, and Animation department at SAIC, a Bachelor of Fine Art (BFA) Degree (2012) in Studio Art from SAIC, another BFA (2011) in Painting from Southeast Missouri State University, and a Bachelor of Arts Degree (2011) in Studio Art from Sichuan Normal University in China.

Pauline Marcelle, born in Dominica, West Indies lives and works in Vienna, Austria. She works in a range of media including painting, sculpture, video and installation. Her artworks explore matters of human behaviour, the reflection on human interactions and the influential impact of their social andmental environments. Themes of consumption, sustainability and resilience engage Marcelle's works and are concerned with the visual and mental content of human needs, lust and desire, exalting identity, existence and the celebration of Black bodies.

She adapts digital collages to painterly parameters, transforming them into pictorial form, continually entering into relations, composing and recomposing relations. The conundrum of the painterly and the photographic characterises her works and serve as vehicles around the relevant themes within the human experience. Marcelle's oeuvre describes the basis of a repopulated space and its displaced attributes, the nomadic properties of living and giving mobility, making each image an island surrounded by diverse environmental capabilities.

Pauline Marcelle was educated at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna Austria and holds an MFA in Visual and Fine Arts (2000). She has been featured in publications including Vogue Brazil, Elle South Africa, GQ Russia, Buro24/7 Russia, L'Officiel Austria and Golfrevue Austria.
