Description
“🐰” series works
The "🐰" series works are a series of works created by the artist Wang Meng during the Year of the Rabbit (from January 22, 2023 to February 9, 2024, a total of 384 days). This series of works will use the "🐰" symbol for creation and will be released as an NFT on Objkt every day.
The "🐰" series is a creation series completed by Wang Meng using AI tools. Wang Meng hopes to explore the "style" of the artist through this series of works. In the past, an artist may have only painted one style of work in their lifetime, or even repeated one theme and one symbol throughout their life, due to various reasons such as technique, talent, time, and market recognition. AI has provided the possibility for style diversity and through AI-generated technology, Wang Meng's "🐰" series will be presented in different styles, which is a self-challenge for Wang Meng.
The content of the "🐰" series may revolve around Wang Meng's daily life inspiration, or may be related to current events. Each work may be an independent expression, or some may form a small theme, and the final 384 works will be unified in the "rabbit" series. In terms of form, there may be images, videos, sound and text besides.
Wang Meng says, "As this challenge is casual, my work style may continue a certain style for a period of time, or you may see the style gradually changing, or even the style may change dramatically from the day before and the day after, but all the works will definitely be my aesthetic taste and I am looking forward to this year.”
The Chinese lunar calendar is based on the cycle of the moon's fullness and emptiness, with one new moon marking one month, approximately 29.53 days. A year usually has 354 or 355 days, which is 11 days less than a solar year (also known as a tropical year) that has 365 or 366 days. To make the length of a lunar year similar to that of a solar year, ancient people added leap months, which means that in 19 lunar years, there are 7 leap months. A leap year has 13 months and is usually 384 or 385 days long. This way, the length of 19 lunar years is almost the same as that of 19 solar years.
In Chinese culture, there is the concept of the 12 zodiac signs, which are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. These zodiac signs are based on Chinese historical legends and myths, and each year is associated with one of them in a rotating cycle. The rabbit is one of the 12 zodiac signs and symbolizes happiness, wisdom, and prosperity.

“🐰” 系列作品
《🐰》系列作品是由艺术家王萌在2023年兔年（从2023年1月22日开始，至2024年2月9日结束，全年共384天）创作的一系列作品。这个系列作品将使用“🐰”符号来进行创作，每天会以NFT的形式在objkt上发布一件作品。
《🐰》系列是王萌使用AI工具完成的创作系列，王萌希望通过这个作品系列，探讨艺术家的“风格”。曾经艺术家一生可能只画一种风格的作品，甚至一生在重复一种主题一种符号，这是技术、天赋、时间、市场认知等多方面的原因所致。AI给风格多变提供了技术可能，通过AI生成技术，王萌的“🐰”系列将会以不同的风格呈现，这是王萌的一次自我挑战。
《🐰》的创作内容可能会围绕王萌生活日常中的灵感，也可能会与时事相关，可能每张作品都是独立的表达，也可能其中一些形成一个小的主题，而最终384件作品统一在“兔”的大系列中。形式上除了图片也可能会有视频、声音、文字等。
王萌说“由于这个挑战是随性的，所以我的作品风格可能会在某段时间延续某种风格，也可能会看到风格逐渐变换，甚至前一天和后一天风格可能会剧烈变化，但所有的作品都一定是我的审美趣味，我对这一年充满期待。”
中国“农历”是以月亮圆缺变化的周期为依据，一个朔望月为一个月，约29.53天，全年一般是354天或355天，比公历年（也称回归年、太阳年）的365天或366天少了11天。为了使农历年的长度和公历年的长度接近，古人采用增加闰月的方法，即在19个农历年中加入7个闰月；有闰月的那一年有13个月，全年一般是384天或385天，叫作闰年。这样一来，19个农历年和19个公历年的长度几乎相等。
在中国文化中有十二生肖的概念，即鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗和猪，这些生肖是根据中国历史传说和神话而来，每一年都属于一种生肖，轮流循环。兔子是中国十二生肖之一，象征着幸福、智慧和繁荣。
