"Keep Running" is a collection of human and machine generated paintings using a generative adversarial network technology. The horse artworks are produced during the lockdown period in the Middle East due to the Covid-19. Many recent AI artworks are either generated in photo-realistic style, or abstract style with distorted faces, fragmented figures and a combination of unknown objects. Besides the cultural and historic symbols that horses represent in this region, what's unique with our work is showing the possibility of using AI to create horse paintings with distinguishable features and forms, while still rendering different aesthetic and even sentimental expressions in the horse paintings. Our first artwork is a series of storytelling-like paintings of an evolving horse figure in motion with changing backgrounds. Another one is a set of different horse portrait paintings that are presented in a grid with each of them evolved and generated stylishly from the same yet repeated machine processes. Our AI artworks are not just artistic and meaningful, but also paying a salute to the early works of machine-assisted art by Eadweard Muybridge and Andy Warhol, for their influences to the art world today.

"Drag A Star" is an interactive installation artwork that gives audiences an immersive and stunning interactive experience to remember the myth of making wishes upon a shooting star. Through the interactions with the display, audiences can learn about meteorites from outer space based on scientific and artistic perspectives by catching a shooting star with their smartphones. Audiences can send their wishes to a shooting star through their smartphones, while being able to read and reply the wishes from others at the same time. The piece was created based on the latest technologies of digital display, screen smart-device interactions, mobile applications, and web-based messaging systems. Extensive scientific, artistic and design efforts were integrated to create these cyber-physical interactive experiences between shooting stars and audiences. The artistic statement of this installation, akin to many ancient myths about wishing upon shooting stars, is about the possibility of catching a shooting star physically through technologies, and realizing someone's wish after reading them. Hence the existence of shooting stars could likely be the social media in outer space - a world where a connection is made between other beings in the Universe.
