Hi! What does Google say about you? It says I'm a multimedia contemporary artist from 🇲🇾 bla bla Here are some of my highlights from 2022 onwards. And yes having been on Jerry Saltz's radar at all is a huge internet win for me 😅

The art paradigm is shifting. Interesting times. I'm using various AI chats to fine tune my art career 'branding'. Here's one of the more interesting feedback. Chatgpt ranks the W3AA higher than the Gold List selection (which is archived in libraries around the world). What do you reckon?

Fentasia Wonderland vs how it started

Yet, I still have no clue how to make enough money to live this world. PS: a media branding consultant once let me know how stupid I was for not talking about my awards and achievements. Apparently corporate types love it. Is it still the case?

Elsewhere, doors opened as for the next two years I was invited to exhibit in many places around the world, and even honoured with awards. Ultimately it lead to me becoming the first Malaysian to have art physically archived on the moon.

It was weird. It generated a lot of pushbacks from traditionalists. But that's also when I realized the art world is very fractured with many realities. Nobody in web3 cared.

Later I found a way to submit my work to the main jury. Months later I was announced as one of the ten finalists. I was on a list together with a bunch of great contemporary artists of today. Some are even household names.

I was invited to present my portfolio to a gatekeeper of an open call contest of a traditional biennale. He rejected me without seeing my work once he heard that I had stuff in NFT. I was told never to come back.

My work is mostly about the nature of reality and how our perception of reality changes with the development of technology. I've been using aesthetics of manga and comics to explore this. So on the surface it looks very lowbrow pop culture.

Stable Delusion Our perception of things is constantly being reprogrammed. Our identities are constantly readjusting subconsciously. New tech, new lexicons, new comforts. What is real? Maybe it doesnt matter anymore. Sanity, insanity? You can drink your boba tea with your eyes in the metaverse.

Did a new portrait that pays homage to the legendary poster of Pulp Fiction featuring Uma Thurman. This is a pretty uncomfortable pose.

Over at X, people are biblesplainning to the Pope basically telling him he doesn't know Christianity 😅😂 I wonder if these are the same experts who told the scientists they knew nothing about infectious disease during the COVID era.

The Battle of Greenland On 24th January 2026, The White House tweeted 'Embrace The Penguin' along with an image of a man and a penguin waving the Star Spangled Banner in a snowy landscape hinted to be Greenland. Penguins are not Arctic creatures but from the other pole.

There are over 20k people following me on Twitter but they're mostly inactive. Are you perhaps here on this platform? Hi!

Choen Lee @choen.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

the kind of posts you see in X right now people thinking that massacring people around the world is the right thing to do.

There are many things I love about USA. But there are also things I dislike about USA. I hope the beautiful kinder America is the one that turns up every day in the future.

Dear @bsky.app how's my selfie considered porn? I'm clothed. Yes I've got curves. Is that a crime? I'm not nude nor am I doing rude gestures.

2023-2025 my art brought me international recognition from awards and exhibitions at events I never thought was possible for someone from South East Asia. Some of these opportunities happened because of web3. This year I'll continue developing myself and aim for even bigger prizes. LOVE YOU ALL!

Hey #PortfolioDay Sometimes when I look into the mirror I wonder if it's a sentient entity looking back, observing what we aren't able to perceive of ourselves.

Almost anything and everything I post here immediately gets flagged as adult content. FFS I'm not posting porn or violence or any shit like that. What's wrong with you Bluesky moderators?
