"Alice and the Mirror of Computing Power" Special Exhibition Opening
Encrypted artist Song Ting attended the event and delivered an opening speech. Song Ting said that the encryption art movement is a cultural and financial practice based on the spirit of open source, and the soul of innovation in the future digital world is imagination. As cultural workers, we can build a "spiritual Tower of Babel" in the digital world in parallel with the "bazaar" and "cathedral", and help build a community of shared future with dignity for everyone in the digital world. And concluded: keep attacking, the only way we can predict the future is to achieve it.
According to Odaily, all the works exhibited in this special exhibition and the works in the NFT invitation letter have been issued on the Cortex main chain as NFT Token, which supports subsequent contract transfer through the Cortex main chain ecological product (Cortex Wallet) , Change ownership, and give collection value to these works. At the same time, the cross-chain solution developed by Cortex also supports the transaction of these artworks to the NFT ecology of Ethereum.
Tian Jia, the co-founder of Cortex Lab, gave a short but wonderful speech on the ideas and thinking that this special exhibition wants to express: Long before the advent of artificial intelligence, people have discussed what consciousness is and whether human creation is possible conscious question. And I have always had a dream, that is to create something that can last forever and help solve the mystery of consciousness. This is a long road of searching up and down, which led me to learn about distributed systems, get in touch with blockchain, and make Cortex, an AI system on the chain. Although art is different from science, art can jump out of the limitations of rules and regulations, have more advanced imagination, and have humanistic care. The art work brought by teacher Song Ting this time explores a grand theme, leaving aside the question of whether AI may have consciousness, and directly discussing whether machines can create art. What's more different is that the AI involved in the creation is already on the chain, which is on the blockchain. This means that anyone can view the transaction and AI model involved in art creation on the Cortex chain, and analyze the process of AI creation step by step, and even draw a calculation diagram. At present, there are 39 different models on the Cortex chain, all of which are based on our on-chain AI technology. Significantly, this is not only fixed-point using plastic types, but also requires deterministic calculation paths to ensure that the model inference process on any platform is exactly the same. To this end, Cortex uses a calculation graph rewriting method to ensure determinism while retaining sufficient precision.
In addition, Song Ting and Conflux's joint roasted boy paintings were also exhibited in this encryption art exhibition. At the exhibition, Li Ruihan, head of the Conflux brand, delivered a keynote speech on "Community Governance and Ecological Development of the Public Chain". She said: In ecological construction, community members play a vital role. Only when everyone has the right to speak can we realize truly decentralized governance and build a prosperous and diverse ecological environment. After the speech, she showed the NFT ecological projects on the Conflux network - the auction display page of Tspace and the blind box of ConFi CITY. According to reports, Tspace will soon launch the auction function.
In the detailed explanation of the works, Ms. Song Ting took the guests to visit a number of paintings on site, expressing her creative ideas and understanding and expectations for encryption art.

The total amount of auction transactions reached 25.5 ETH
This exhibition has specially prepared an "auction" session. "Cherry Ballet Tutu Skirt and Large Particle Collider", "Khmer Smile", "Fantasy Geometry" Series 1, "Fantasy Geometry" Series 2, "Ascending Dimension" 2 pieces, "Block" A total of 7 works created by encrypted artist Ms. Song Ting participated in the auction of Broadway Jazz on the Chain. The total amount of the live auction reached 25.5 ETH.
In the auction session, Cao Yin, managing director of the Digital Renaissance Foundation, won three paintings at a total price of 12.3ETH. Among them, the creation painting "Broadway Jazz on the Blockchain" drawn point by point based on the AI model Mobilenet on the Cortex chain was sold at a price of 8 ETH.
According to reports, the works of Ms. Song Ting, the core encryption artist of this special exhibition, have been favored by many encryption art collectors. A work in progress: 119 Chinese female technology leaders provide portrait authorization. After the GAN algorithm generates the portrait, Ms. Song Ting, teacher Tongzhou from China Academy of Art, Yang Linyuan, managing partner of DFUND, Mable, executive director of Multicoin Capital and "Cyber Wonder Woman" created by Odaily founder and CEO Mandy based on the collaboration between humans and machines passed the detection of YOLO v4 algorithm and was recognized as "human".

Creating with Cortex's on-chain AI is a very interesting experience. At least each of us can experience the creative process of art. In this wild and unconstrained field, you can use your unlimited imagination.
We often wonder, what kind of world can be outlined through the cold mechanical character code? Today, following "Alice and the Mirror of Computing Power", we see that there are many innovative products and platforms in the field of encrypted art.
As the world's first public chain that supports on-chain AI, Cortex is committed to building a good infrastructure for various valuable application scenarios.
According to Odaily, Cortex provided comprehensive support for this special exhibition. Including the comprehensive upgrade of DApp products in the Cortex ecosystem, and the release of the first decentralized wallet (Cortex Wallet) that supports the function of directly reading and displaying data on the chain, so that all participating guests and encrypted art lovers can more conveniently display and collect , transfer encrypted art paintings NFT, at the same time, the Cerebro block browser of the Cortex ecology also supports viewing the on-chain information of NFT-related transactions and the preview function of encrypted artwork NFT works. A very complete infrastructure has been built for the NFT ecosystem.
The Cortex main chain is equipped with a native distributed file storage protocol at the beginning of its launch, and will later support the data storage of Ms. Song Ting and the Cortex Labs AI and blockchain art collaboration platform.
Starting with this, Cortex Labs will continue to join hands with Ms. Song Ting in the future to promote more AI and human cooperation in the field of encryption art, and the encryption art can flourish; also for more encryption artists and blockchain developers with various cutting-edge ideas More brilliant colors bloom in the Cortex ecosystem to provide infrastructure platforms. Work together to let the world see the world imagined by machines.
Cortex hopes that through this special exhibition, it will flutter its wings with all its fellow travelers and fly over the maze.
