Genesis Kai

"She's like a mixed Hong Kongese-Korean artist that has been doing digital art, but brings a lot of deep thinking — a strong connection to the East, like Asia, and certain cultures and traditions from Confucius and yin and yang concepts, and more like Korean tradition. But at the same time, she's been using a light touch of AI and digital art to produce her artwork, which comes in physical form, printed on Hanji paper. So it's been interesting to see how it's digital art, but it really doesn't feel like so."

ABOUT

Genesis Kai is a chiral twin and AI-infused alter ego and persona created by Ming Shiu, a Hong Kong-Korean new media artist who explores reconnection with culture and heritage through transhumanist philosophy and multidisciplinary practices. The interpretation of cultural artifacts and elements of Asian heritage—subjects loaded with national yet intimate and personal significance—becomes a matter of open, ab initio curiosity and frank investigative interest for Genesis Kai. Her pieces have been exhibited globally at fairs including Asia Now (Paris, 2022 & 2023), Art Dubai (Dubai, 2024), and KIAF Hongdae Excursion with the Seoul Metropolitan Government (Seoul, 2024). Her work has been featured in Vogue Korea, Artnet, The Art Newspaper, The Economist Korea, Tatler Asia, and more.
