About

Digital art generated by AI is blooming, but artist Demos Chiang wants to do the opposite. The 《Gentle Panther》 NFTs consist of 515 unique panther heads. Instead of creating randomly through algorithm, each piece is created manually. Emphasizing the uniqueness of art in the old fashion way.  Adopting “Wise men mend their ways” as the base, and integrating the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) as the surfaces, the artist attempt to celebrate the balance of natural energy through the 515 panther heads. This is a reflection of humanistic essence and craftsman spirit.

Each piece represents a metamorphosis. Unique in its own way for collectors to hold and share. Furthermore, the artist also views the launching of the NFT more as an artistic behavior. At different stages, the collectors will have the opportunity to observe the process of different physical art incubation. 1% of the collectors will have the opportunity to collect the corresponding physical art works, and with further participation, will be entitled to purchase a NFT limited sculptures.

由演算法快速生成的數位藝術遍地開花，奇花異草當中，藝術家反其道而行，不透過AI隨機演算創作，強調美感應有其獨一無二的樣貌；以「君子豹變」為源，進而融合五行元素，將自然能量與蟄伏的力道，透過515件五行豹首，傳達人文的沉澱與思考，並以職人精神悉心鍛造，逐一雕琢每件數位作品。

每一件，都代表著蓄勢待發中的層層蛻變，也是人的品味與AI隨機美感的交涉。五行豹首各異其趣，不同階段的藏家也如同參與了這場醞釀。少數藏家將有機會收藏實體作品，以期在虛實之中，保有藝術的用意、人文的企圖與溫度，同時改變持有數位創作的消費方式，篩選出真正的藏家。
