"Singularity art" is a research and prediction on future art that will be impacted by incoming “technological singularity .” The research is based on the today’s art tendencies and the exponential growth of technology that suggested by Moore's Law, such in the fields as follows: artificial intelligence (strong AI), quantum mechanics, biotechnology, nanotechnology and others. The principle perspective behinds the research is that “Future Leeds Today. ”

Singularity art is a part of singularity research as well as that of in art-futurology, which demonstrates in-depth discovering and illustrating of unlimited interpretation between forthcoming art and technology singularity. In addition, it would deduct intensely and predict confidently on that how the technological singularity will transform future art creations, conceptual thinking, strong AI materials, interactive smart installations, infinite-change constrictive forms, as well as the prospect systems in art education, art publication, art market and art communication. Subversive in today’s art creative fields characterized by such research, it may also has significant revelatory in contemporary art, design, animation, film and science fictions.

"Singularity" refers to extraordinary integration phase of biological intelligence and non-biological intelligence. "Singularity" exploration and deliberation has become a hot trend worldwide in the field of futurology, science and technology, anthropology, physics, economics, art inventions, culture, ethics, philosophy and linguistics. Singularity University, Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence (SIAI ) , Singularity Summit , Acceleration Studies Foundation (ASF) and various other organizations has been established in U.S.A past decade.

Art professor LiQin Tan at Rutgers University–Camden leads the research team to study singularity art since 2012. Current studies has been involved in examines of smart interactive art (strong AI), bio-art, nano-art, VR art, bionic art, future architecture, 4D printing and smart wearable art etc. The singularity art research has been covered an extensive range of technologies and profound art experiences, and it also requires researchers to follow its advance and revolutions constantly along with amazing artistic conception, technical implementation capacity and explosive imagination. Frankly speaking, the singularity art research is a tremendously challenging and enormous project, and it may take several generations to explore it.

Up to now, singularity art research has been supported by United States and Chinese Universities. Rutgers University-Camden has approved research fund to support Tan in 2013, and the singularity art course is expected to be officially starting in fall 2016. The Peking University in Beijing has opened its singularity art course since 2013, and its first singularity art major student has granted master science degree in 2014. Respectively, there are more graduate students in singularity art major studies will be graduated soon in Perking University. The Jinan University in Guangzhou and Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology  has started singularity art seminar classes in 2015. The Beijing University of Technology successfully held a " the International Symposium of Singularity Art" in 2013. The Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts in China established “the Singularity Institute for Art and Design” in 2015 and professor Tan was appointed as a deputy director.

An book "Singularity Art: How Technology Singularity Will Impact On Art" ( author LiQin Tan) will be published in China and the United States soon after.
