Elio D’Anna, Co-founder of HOFA Gallery, explains, "With the emergence of new AI models and techniques, a profound technological evolution occurred in 2023. ‘New Beginnings’ captures the first major works conceived and produced in the post-transition period, juxtaposing them with early era AI creations of immense significance. It effectively narrates the evolution of AI-generated artistry while simultaneously redefining contemporary perceptions of art in the digital age."
‘New Beginnings’ showcases a diverse spectrum of mediums and methodologies to reflect on AI’s journey and its dual role as both inspiration and instrument in the artistic process. The art creators selected for this showcase are at the vanguard of integrating AI technologies with creative expression through their innovative practices.
Show highlights include:
Niceaunties, a Singapore-based architect and AI artist, who draws inspirations from the rich tapestry of her culture and explores themes of aging, personal freedom and everyday life through generative AI and digital art.
Multi award-winning Sougwen 愫君 Chung, a Chinese-Canadian artist, who is widely regarded as a pioneer in human-machine collaboration. Recognised as one of TIME100’s esteemed AI innovators, their MEMORY (Drawing Operations Unit: Generation 2) piece has the distinction of being the first AI model acquired by London’s Victoria and Albert Museum.
New York based artist Emily Xie harnesses algorithms to create life like textures and forms, navigating delicate balances between chance and control, and the abstract and representational. Her work has been showcased internationally, including at the Singapore ArtScience Museum and the Armory Show.
Agoria, the visionary artist celebrated for his avant-garde BioGenArt, has captivated the art world with his groundbreaking exhibition at the Musée d’Orsay. As a DJ and a master of digital artistry, he is poised to unveil ‘I Feel Good’, a cinematic exploration that weaves together the complex tapestry of AI and humanity, all viewed through the discerning eye of an anthropologist.
Artist Elman Mansimov is a Senior Applied Scientist, who is known for pioneering research in AI. His 2015 alignDRAW project, the first text-to-image model that marked a new era of human-machine collaboration, has been compared to the revolutionary impact of the first fixed photographs in the 1820s.
HOFA, founded in 2012, specialises in curating and showcasing contemporary artworks that blend traditional techniques with digital innovation. The gallery’s dedication to merging these elements is symbolic of its broader mission to catalyse a renaissance in art acquisition, connecting the tangible with the digital to enchant a discerning global audience. Similarly, Fellowship aims to bridge the past and present, shaping the future of art by leveraging blockchain technology to introduce art to a new generation of collectors.
Sunny Cheung, who oversees Design & Architecture curation at M+, Asia’s first global museum of contemporary visual culture, says in his curatorial statement about ‘New Beginnings’, "The recent advancements in AI and generative art processes often feel like magic. Through this exhibition, we explore this magic in AI’s evolution and its impact on creative practices. The artists selected have embraced digital tools to create works that reflect new, faster and collaborative production methods. With vast data flows and virtualisation, artists can draw from lived experiences to create new meanings."
He adds "Like all great relationships, we don’t necessarily know where the relationship with AI and art is heading, but we are excited by the new possibilities that come with New Beginnings."

Belen had 13 points, 10 excellent receptions, and 10 digs as the Lady Bulldogs improved to 8-2 and moved to within a win away from securing a Final Four berth.

As long as kaya ko pong gawin yung task like sa receive at dig, ibibigay ko yung effort ko (It’s not just the attack that I always think about, I think about what else I can contribute to the team. As long as I can do the task like receive and dig, I will give my effort),’ said Belen after the one hour and 21-minute match.
Alyssa Jae Solomon led NU with 14 points, while Evangeline Alinsug added nine points, followed by Minerva Maaya with eight points.

kasi nakita namin kung ano yung pinagtrabahuhan namin nung mga training lalo na nung Holy Week na imbis na umuwi or mag-spend time sa family namin, mas pinili namin magtraining at ipolish pa yung galaw namin (We are very happy because we saw what we worked on during the trainings, especially during Holy Week, that instead of going home or spending time with our family, we chose to train and polish our moves),” Solomon said.

TACLOBAN CITY: Schools in Southern Leyte and Biliran town in Biliran province temporarily resorted to alternative learning modes on Wednesday due to extreme heat, the Department of Education (DepEd) regional office here said.
Suspension of face-to-face classes has been implemented in Pintuyan Central School, Catbawan Elementary School (ES), Punod Primary School, Nueva Estrella ES, Son-ok ES, and Pintuyan National High School, all in Pintuyan town.
Other campuses are Abgao ES and Timba ES in Malitbog, Macrohon Central ES and Aguinaldo ES in Macrohon town, Buenavista ES in Bontoc, and Don Agustin F. Escano National High School in Tomas Oppus town.
‘In the town of Biliran, Biliran, the local government issued an executive order on shifting to blended learning until April 19. The morning session is face-to-face, and the afternoon session is modular distance learning,’ said DepEd Eastern Visayas regional information officer Jasmin Calzita.
The use of online or other distance learning modes seeks to minimize he
alth and safety risks and uphold the physical and mental well-being of learners and school personnel.
The official said teachers are prepared to implement alternative delivery modes in the event of the suspension of classes due to extreme heat, heavy rains, typhoons, earthquakes, and other natural disasters.
The education department regularly disseminates heat index figures to guide school heads through its social media accounts.
Earlier, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration warned of even warmer days ahead.
The weather bureau states that heat indices between 41 and 54 degrees Celsius are considered “dangerous” as they can lead to heat cramps and exhaustion, and with continued activity, a heat stroke is likely to occur.
Tacloban, the regional capital, recorded 41 degrees Celsius heat index on April 2.
