The event is one of the public events of the Taipei Digital Art Festival “Island of Chimera”. Artist Hung-Lu Chan’s work “Close Encounters with Inner Aliens” combines cognitive neuroscience, guided imagery, and AI neural networks to explore how humans are deeply influenced by history, culture and society, understand and shape things in their brains, thus create all kinds of alien imaginations. In this workshop, artists will combine guided meditation and image generation techniques to invite the audience to visualize the aliens in their minds, and collectively discuss and reflect on the personal connections with these inner aliens.
