The second OPENFILE Festival of Contemporary Visual Culture, organized by V/Collective, kicked off at Shanghai's chi K11 Art Museum last Thursday.
Featuring "A Whole New World," this year's festival has invited 36 international and Chinese artists across multiple disciplines, presenting a wide-range selection of creative expressions spanning from original paintings and sculptures to cutting-edge digital works and AI-generated content.
Divided into five distinct thematic zones — Shine, Shimmer, Dazzle, Thrill, and Wonder—across a 2,000-square-meter space, the exhibition studies how digital AI, physical art, and sculptural forms converge, inviting visitors to explore the dynamic interplay and contrasts between these mediums.
