AI时代新的感官体验

     本作讨论生成式人工智能(GAI)带来的新感官体验,并批判性地观察人工智能识别技术。

     在GAI技术中,训练有素的AI程序需要具备识别"人类社会中的概念"的能力。这一点反映在各种算法模型的构建中,这些算法致力于实现对人类社会中的概念进行"识别",以便在数据和图像中呈现出来。

     作者将赛车游戏视频的每一帧画面通过Stable Diffusion重绘为猪笼草,视频的画面结构仍然保留了赛车游戏的录像形式,但内容却变成了猪笼草。通过改变视频的速度,其声音也随之改变。Sound Recognition识别变化后的声音,并将结果反馈给Stable Diffusion,声音识别的结果直接反映在视频画面中。

     在体验过程中,观众会自然而然地去辨别他们所听到和看到的音像是否符合自己的认知概念。作品名称"识别的欲望"既指AI识别程度对识别结果的渴求,也指观众希望能够识别画面内容和声音的愿望。

     作品名称中的"猪笼草"和"Pineapple"的设置,灵感来自作者阅读小野洋子的《葡萄柚》。《葡萄柚》 的内容是一系列超现实艺术行动的指引,尽管读者无法完成这些行动,但可以通过想象感受到其中的艺术性。就如名称"葡萄柚"(grapefruit)可以拆分为"葡萄"和"柚",两个本来独立的概念合并成一个新概念,并依旧保留原有概念的感觉。根据符号学解释,这样的命名方式具有多种不同的能指,但却指向同一所指,与文本内容给人的感受相一致。借鉴这种方法,作者将"猪笼草"和"Pineapple"作为作品名称,可以拆分为"猪"、"笼"、"草"、"Pine"、"apple"等概念,这些看似独立的概念组合在一起,创造出新的意义和感受。

New Sensory Experience 
in the AI Era 
  
This work discusses the new sensory experiences brought about by Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) and critically observes AI recognition technology.

In GAI technology, well-trained AI programs need to possess the ability to recognize "concepts in human society." This is reflected in the construction of various algorithmic models, which are dedicated to achieving the "recognition" of concepts in human society, so as to present them in data and images.

The artist redraws each frame of a racing game video into a pitcher plant using Stable Diffusion. The video's structure still retains the form of the racing game footage, but the content has been transformed into pitcher plants. By changing the speed of the video, its sound also changes accordingly. Sound Recognition identifies the altered sound and feeds the results back to Stable Diffusion, directly reflecting the sound recognition results in the video images.

During the experience, viewers will naturally discern whether the audio and visual elements they hear and see align with their cognitive concepts. The artwork's title, "The Desire for Recognition," refers to both the AI's yearning for recognition accuracy and the viewers' wish to recognize the content and sound in the images.

The inclusion of "Pitcher Plant" and "Pineapple" in the artwork's title draws inspiration from the artist's reading of Yoko Ono's Grapefruit. Grapefruit consists of a series of instructions for surreal artistic actions that readers cannot complete, but can appreciate the artistic value through imagination. Just as the name "grapefruit" can be split into "grape" and "fruit," two originally independent concepts merge into a new concept while still retaining the essence of the original concepts. According to semiotic interpretation, this naming approach has multiple signifiers but points to the same signified, consistent with the feeling evoked by the text's content. Borrowing from this method, the artist uses "Pitcher Plant" and "Pineapple" as the artwork's title, which can be decomposed into concepts such as "Pitcher," "Plant," "Pine," and "apple." These seemingly independent concepts, when combined, create new meanings and sensations.
