About the work

"Every Shade Of Crimson Tells The Stories We Once Knew" is the first series that deviates away from her traditional practices of photography, 3D imaging, and AI to a drawing infused with AI based practice. Viewers are invited into a surreal, red-drenched cosmos where the boundaries between self and universe dissolve, revealing the interconnectedness of all things and the eternal cycles that govern existence. Inspired by Neo-Confucian ideologies of Li (principle) and Qi (vital material force), the Mahayana Buddhist metaphor of Indra’s Net, and the cyclical process of creation and destruction, these pieces are both a philosophical meditation and a deeply personal exploration of Genesis Kai’s place within this vast, dynamic web of people, relationships and the human psyche. Through the recurring motifs of the pagoda, the ritualistic table, and the transformative red drips, Kai seeks to navigate the tension between chaos and harmony, individuality versus interconnectedness, while reflecting on her role as an artist and a participant in the cosmic order. Genesis Kai anchors a sacred gathering at the head of a table, an altar for grounding the self in a stark, white landscape beneath a crimson sky that drips with the chaotic energy of qi. Kai appears as the red-haired figure with bangs, her position centering the flow of li, the universal principle that binds all energy into harmony. Surrounding her are beings from all walks of life: two figures, freshly morphed from the li of the red ink, sit at a distance, their qi heavy and turbid in their unevolved forms, while in the lower right, monks quietly relax, their qi lighter and clearer, reflecting a refined state. Despite the varying weights of qi, all figures are bonded by the flowing li, with Kai calmly mediating the balance between chaos and order in a ritual of interconnectedness, echoing the Mahayana Buddhist ideology Indra’s Net of jewels reflection off each other.

Genesis Kai
Genesis Kai
Paris / Hong Kong · b. unknown

Genesis Kai is the AI-infused alter ego of Korean-Hong Kong new media artist Ming Shiu. Through her conceptual framework “Pothosophy,” she redefines desire not as lack but as a structuring tension that shapes reality. Working across AI-driven collaboration, video installation, and hanji prints, she reinterprets East Asian heritage and diasporic memory through a contemporary philosophical lens. Since her debut at Asia Now (2022) in France, her works have been exhibited internationally across Paris, London, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Seoul.
