The theme of the new edition of Youth Art Festival is Brain Garden. In an era where human brains and machine brains simulate each other, and human intelligence competes with artificial intelligence, art has become a "brain garden": pathways diverge, with infinite computing power and boundless creativity... In the post-pandemic era, amidst the turbulence of excessive generation of AIGC, we call on everyone to nurture their own "brain garden" and summon forth the arrival of spring. Let the flowers of youth bloom and let the artistic creativity flow. Every edition of the Youth Art Festival showcases the works of young CAA artists in the city with the expectations of basing artistic creations in reality and comprehending humanity for society's sake.
