Invitation to the Future Art Auction | First Global AI Art Hackathon After Party
Not doing hackathons, but clocking in at hackathons
The year is 2036, and an art auction is underway.
Over the past decade, a new generation of artists has emerged worldwide — some are models, some are human, and some are human-machine hybrids.
In the art market of ten years from now, who will be the stars?
And how will future collectors price art?

Shanghai, Zhangjiang AI Innovation Town
Following the inaugural Global AI Art Hackathon
The "2036 Future Art Auction" makes its dazzling debut
We're inviting 200 audience members
to vote for the artists of the AI era with virtual gold coins.
You will become a collector from 2036
After intense deliberation by our panel of professional judges, the Top 20 works from this hackathon will take the stage at the auction.
Each of the 200 audience members will receive millions in virtual currency.
For each work:
- Opening bid: 500,000 gold coins
- Bid increments: up to 500,000 gold coins
- Maximum bid: 3,000,000 gold coins
You can keep raising your paddle to bid, or go all in at once.
The highest-selling work will receive:
The Leonardo Award — the grand prize
What you're bidding on isn't just a work
No real transactions will take place at this auction.
Collectors won't receive copyright, nor will they take the work home.
But you will become one of the first supporters of an AI artist.
If you win the bid, you'll receive:
1. Semi-permanent WeChat friend status with the artist
You'll become the artist's WeChat contact, with premium treatment — no blocking or deletion except under force majeure — ensuring long-term communication.
2. Artist VIP dinner for two
The collector will have a 1v1 private exchange with the artist. Price range at your discretion; you both pay your own way.
3. First-look witnessing rights
Aside from the artist themself, the collector gets priority rights to debut the artwork on Xiaohongshu — also known as being the foundational publisher.
The birth of future artists
Every art revolution has brought new creators, new ways of seeing, and new markets.
Duchamp's urinal did. Andy Warhol's Campbell's soup cans did. Jeff Koons's balloon dog did. Takashi Murakami's LV cherry bag did.
Now, AI is bringing the next transformation.
September 13th, Zhangjiang AI Innovation Town
18:00 - 20:00

and witness the birth of the first generation of AI-era artists.
