Sougwen Chung Embraces AI as a Creative Partner to Explore Cultural Hybridity 🎨

Sougwen Chung refuses to be defined by binaries. The artist is a child of two cultures, two languages, and—in human terms—one musician and one computer programmer.<br /><br />“My work, at its simplest level, is about exploring the contradictions that stem from not fitting neatly into one category,” Chung, who identifies as nonbinary, said on Sunday in Dubai, where they accepted a TIME100 Impact Award for their influence on the field of artificial intelligence. “I like to think of [it] as a new hybridity.”
