Creative Tracks (Choose one of the two)
Track 1: The Ideal Nearby
Track Description:
We believe that an ideal life is not far away, but lies in the “nearby” where you are willing to pause.
In an age where attention is torn between grand narratives and digital isolation, the “nearby”—once the anchor of daily life, relationships, and memories—is quietly fading. Yet humans ultimately need concrete connections: with those around us, with every plant and tree, with street corners and alleys. Perhaps the “ideal nearby” is hidden in a single gaze, a conversation, or an overlooked fold of everyday life.
Keywords:
The Ideal Nearby · Waterfront · Mountains · Trendy Youth · Personality Slices · Futuristic · Local Vitality · Healing
Track 2: The Liquid Commons
Track Description:
The ocean is not remote, abstract, or invisible—it is a flowing site where climate, life, technology, cities, and civilization intertwine: a public lifeline that sustains the Earth’s life, climate stability, and future civilization.
As that blue realm, which once silently nurtured all things, grows quieter amid the clamor, humanity cannot remain untouched. Our fate is deeply bound, in unspoken symbiosis, with tides, corals, plankton, and even deep‑sea currents. And when data begins to tell the language of tides, when screens reflect the glimmer of the deep sea, the ocean awaits to be seen, heard, and responded to anew. This time, let us use water as our medium, and in its flow, reweave the shared imagination that connects us all.
Keywords:
Ocean · Liquid Commons · Marine Ecology · Environmental Change · Future Civilization
We invite you to use AI technology to:
- In Track 1, reimagine or tenderly recreate a warm, storied, and sense‑of‑belonging “ideal nearby” – depicting the street‑level bustle, natural corners, and interpersonal glimmers that restore a human scale.
- In Track 2, transform marine science into a visual narrative that is tangible, empathetic, and participatory – portraying the fluid, interwoven, and indivisible liquid realities, engaging with topics such as deep‑sea ecology, environmental change, non‑human perspectives, and future coexistence, so that guardianship and connection emerge as naturally as water.
Note: Choosing Track 2 also allows you to submit the same work to the 5th CDSA International Media Art Creative Awards at https://cdsaawards.com. Please note that the competition rules and work dimensions must match the large‑screen specifications. The two competitions are independent, and separate submissions are required.
