Curatorial Statement

By highlighting intersections of technology, design, and global culture, the discussion reflected the transformative spirit of the 40 times 40 International Exhibition.
The evening concluded with a resounding message: that the future of creativity will be defined not by machines alone, but by the collaboration between human imagination and technological possibility.
