WangShui uses many strange tools and mediums in their art: they paint with rags, scratch on aluminum surfaces, and create art that changes based on the carbon dioxide levels of museum visitors. WangShui is also a pioneer of artificial-intelligence art at a time when many artists abhor its advances. They train an AI with their past work, which generates new images, which then inspire new works by hand. Those creations are on a world tour, stopping in Shanghai, Munich, and New York City.
