AI的文化现象 

 
人工《在迪福森中见到我》 是一件批判性的视频艺术作品,旨在揭示当下AI图像生成领域的文化症候。尽管如Stable Diffusion等工具为用户提供了多样的操作方法,但其生态系统却催生了同质化的审美倾向,尤其是对动漫女性角色图像的迷恋。本作以视频的形式,运用AI图像生成技术,希望可以讨论技术的操作性与生成内容的单一性之间的复杂纠葛。

人工视频从一个参数化建模的地球开始,通过Stable Diffusion图生图功能,地球纹理被重绘为充斥CivitAI网站的动漫美女图像。紧接着,艺术家利用Controlet的OpenPose功能,将星座星象图与人物骨骼点进行匹配,以生成“星象美女”。随后,画面切换到一场拳击比赛。艺术家使用AI工具Cutie提取其中一位拳击手的画面,并用ProPAInter将其从原视频中抹去。被提取出来的拳击手画面,经Stable Diffusion重绘后,呈现出每一帧都不同的虚拟形象。将虚拟形象重新放回原视频,形成真实的拳击手形象与虚拟形象的搏斗,以此形成强烈的虚拟与现实的对比。

人工 这件作品希望可以展现艺术家对AI技术的运用能力和对技术文化现象的洞察。通过创造性地挪用和改造AI工具,艺术家揭示了技术与文化之间的复杂互动,为观众提供了一个反思AI图像生成生态的视角。《在迪福森中见到我》 呈现出一种非AIGC式的AI艺术创作路径,是技术与艺术融合的一种可能性。

The Culture of AI 
 
Meet Me in Diffusion is a critical video art piece that aims to reveal the cultural symptoms in the current AI image generation field. Despite tools like Stable Diffusion providing users with diverse operation methods, their ecosystem has fostered a homogenized aesthetic tendency, particularly an obsession with anime female character images. This work, in the form of video, employs AI image generation technology to discuss the complex entanglement between the operability of technology and the singularity of generated content.

The video begins with a parameterized modeled Earth. Through Stable Diffusion's image-to-image function, the Earth's texture is redrawn into anime girl images that flood the CivitAI website. Following this, the artist utilizes Controlnet's OpenPose function to match constellation maps with human skeletal points, generating "Constellation Beauties." The scene then switches to a boxing match. The artist uses the AI tool Cutie to extract the image of one of the boxers and employs ProPAInter to erase him from the original video. The extracted boxer's image is then redrawn by Stable Diffusion, presenting a virtual image that differs in every frame. By placing the virtual image back into the original video, a fight between the real boxer's image and the virtual image is formed, creating a strong contrast between the virtual and the real.

This work aims to showcase the artist's ability to apply AI technology and his insight into technological and cultural phenomena. By creatively appropriating and transforming AI tools, the artist reveals the complex interaction between technology and culture, providing the audience with a perspective to reflect on the AI image generation ecosystem. Meet Me in Diffusion presents a non-AIGC path of AI art creation, demonstrating a possibility of the fusion of technology and art.
