July 2020—September, 2021
Due to COVID19, this year’s edition will run almost entirely online.
Curator’s foreword
Welcome to the 4th edition of The New Art Fest — where art meets technology
This edition will have a special focus on China’s post-contemporary art.
We will present artworks from Chinese artists born after 1980. The majority of these artists come from four crucial artistic environments in China: Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Hong Kong.
GenY deals substantially with information, cognitive issues at large, and technology. Interdisciplinary projects related to urgent matters like climate change, ecology, or big data are some of the issues at stake in this show.
So-called contemporary art is a paradigm that originated in the twentieth century. It is a bit old now. Knowledge-intensive based art is gradually taking the lead, namely on our smartphones, our smart streets, and our smart cities.
We are now traveling through a cognitive revolution, namely made possible by digital fibers, LEDs, new carbon materials, rare earth elements, big and small drones, big and small robots, machine learning, cyborgs, and a formidable expansion of computational power fed by 3G, 4G, 5G… telecommunications, cloud computing, and sooner than later by quantum non-binary intelligent systems.
The purpose of The New Art Fest is to study, understand, and exhibit the impacts of this civilizational shift on the creativity and art realms around the world. Linear time is giving up to a rhizome of clocks.
GenY is, up to a certain point, the beacon of the dawn of a post-contemporary art world.
Welcome to Lisbon!

新艺术节’20
由于使用了COVID19，因此今年的版本几乎可以完全在线运行。
策展人的前言
欢迎来到第四届新艺术节-艺术与技术的交汇
2020年版将特别关注中国的后现代艺术。
我们将展示1980年以后出生的中国艺术家的作品。这些艺术家中的大多数来自中国四个重要的艺术环境：北京，上海，杭州和香港。
GenY在很大程度上处理信息，认知问题和技术。与紧急情况相关的跨学科项目，例如气候变化，生态学或大数据，是本次展会中的一些关键问题。
所谓当代艺术是一种起源于二十世纪的范例。现在有点旧了。基于知识密集型的艺术正在逐步占据领先地位，即在我们的智能手机，智能街道和智能城市中。
我们现在正在经历一场认知革命，即通过数字光纤，LED，新型碳材料，稀土元素，大小无人机，大小机器人，机器学习，机器人，以及强大的计算能力扩展而成为可能3G，4G，5G …电信，云计算以及量子非二进制智能系统早于后来。
新艺术节的目的是研究，理解和展示这种文明转变对全世界创造力和艺术领域的影响。线性时间放弃了时钟的根茎。
在某种程度上，GenY是后现代艺术世界曙光的灯塔。
欢迎来到里斯本！

The New Art Fest—where art meets technology is the meeting point for open minded creative environments, where pop culture, conceptual art strategies, and progressive knowledge come together taking for granted the World Wide Web, Internet of Things, Humans, Hybrids, Robots, and a variety of clever Post-human agents.
