Idea Exploring
Nowdays, the unrestricted use, alteration, and misinterpretation of the outputs generated by artistic artificial intelligence have resulted in a significant encroachment upon the work of other art professionals in the creative field. This phenomenon exerts undue pressure on artists. The rapid mass production of blurred images by artificial intelligence seems to present a simplified abstraction that diminishes the emotional impact achieved through the labor, effort, and experience of artists in various other fields. However, it's important to recognize that AI is not the culprit of all problems. In fact, its actions are guided and controlled by users.
In this context, I believe there is a need to expand the general public's understanding of artificial intelligence and elucidate the far-reaching implications of its integration with the arts. DOOR, as an interactive installation, seeks to participate in a dialogue between artists, viewers and AI. It conveys genuine emotions in an environment marked by oppression, misunderstanding, and distress, achieved by simulating a production process similar to AI-generated drawing. This project responds to the growing popularity of technology and aims to prompt audiences to question the potential applicability of these technologies within the realm of artistic creation. Ultimately, its goal is to empower creatives to engage in the public utilization of these tools.
Through self-reflection, I believe that the key to bringing about negativity and resistance is that the past and present work experience and achievements of the artist's identity are not respected. After the rapid popularity of AI drawing, people are amazed at the high efficiency and "high quality" of AI, so they think that images synthesized quickly in 5 minutes or even 5 seconds can replace the work of most artists. I subjectively think that this actually negates the value of "I" as an artist. Works born of the time, effort and experience gained by "I" are easily compressed into a few keywords and a short description by a more powerful "creature". In the collision and conflict with AI shared by many practitioners of painting and concept art, I saw my existence and imagined my future. I can't be entirely optimistic about it. With urgent thoughts on how to adapt to coexistence with AI, I choose to work with AI to explore the boundaries of coexistence in the creative field.
