Sintopia

Sintopía, created by CENTRO and Taima studio, is a space
shared between poetry, image, and environment. Inspired by Japanese haiku,
this installation unfolds generative visuals that
accompany the flow of the seasons, transforming the viewer
into an active participant in a cycle that reflects both natural change and
the inner world. The illustrations, hand-drawn by various
artists, are reinterpreted by artificial intelligence as a
creative extension that challenges our perspective and reveals the
human element behind the technological.

KANAGAWA SURF, by The ARTificialist (Xuan Long), reimagines Katsushika Hokusai's iconic Great Wave off Kanagawa, reinterpreted by AI and fused with surf and skate culture. In an animated sequence with original music—a blend of surf rock and traditional Japanese sounds—stylized characters glide across moving waves, evoking both the dynamism of classic video games and the serenity of Japanese woodblock prints. In this way, past and present converse in a landscape that celebrates freedom, creativity, and connection with nature. Both pieces, though distinct in language and style, converge in their quest to connect tradition and future, body and landscape, contemplation and movement. The digital element is not presented as a rupture, but as a poetic bridge that invites us to see with fresh eyes what it means to inhabit the world.
