A brand new public art exhibition called The Transformative Power of Memories, launched by the Nanjing Deji Art Museum, has been unveiled recently. 

For the first time in China, two of the most representative works of internationally renowned media artist and pioneer of machine intelligence aesthetics Refik Anadol -

 Melting Memories-Endgram-Box and Quantum Memories Probability - have been put on display, sparking extensive public discussion. 

A pioneer who used artificial intelligence in public art for the first time, Anadol has long been popular around the world. Calling his works "the Poetry of Data," he creates specific visual sound performances and digital art sculptures depending on location, transforming memory-carrying data into fluid, palpable artistic spectacles. 

In the field of digital art, the Deji Art Museum has already been a promoter and a practitioner for decades. With the launch of this exhibition, the use of digital art and digital skills is bound to gain wider popularity and attention in the country.
