Description

《九相圖》原為佛教繪畫主題，即是描繪人死後屍體腐敗的九個階段，亦藉著對醜惡屍身之凝視，斷除對美色的執著及貪欲。另一方面，人工智能的繪畫工具隨著對抗式生成網路的崛起而日漸普遍，展現某種幾乎「無人狀態」的創造力與生命力。隨之而起的傳統畫家是否會因此被取代之討論，似乎也暗示了某種關於「人之消亡」的恐懼、焦慮。我試圖藉著AI生成工具，以提示字工程的方式與機器進行協商，繪製一套《九相圖》。對我來說，這件作品既是誕生亦是死亡，既無人卻又關乎於人。《九相圖》的意義，亦不僅是屍體腐敗的過程，更重要的是它同時關乎「人形的消滅」。更深入思考的話，亦是關乎如何擺脫既定形體，或擺脫既定美感形式的框架。同時，我也相信，AI生成工具中呈現的不穩定、錯亂、意外，以及非透過畫家身體建構的圖像（無身體參與），會讓這件作品更值得玩味。系列作品共九件：《九相圖/ Kusozu #1》～《九相圖/ Kusozu #9》。錄像作品為：《九相圖/ Kusozu》。作品銷售收益的8% 將用以支持Pixray網站運作。 https://pixray.gob.io/genesis/ ----------------------------------------------------------- "Kusozu" was originally a theme of Buddhist painting. It depicts the nine stages of a decaying corpse, and by gazing at such corpse, the obsession and greed for physical beauty would be eliminated. On the other side, with the emergence of GANs, artificial intelligence painting tools have also become more common and accessible, we can see AI's creativity and vitality look almost "unmanned". The ensuing debate over whether traditional painters will be replaced by AI generators also seems to suggest the fear and anxiety for the demise of human/humanity. By means of an AI generator,I attempt to negotiate with the machine through text prompts to paint a series of “Kusozu”. This work represents both birth and death, and is at the same time unmanned and humane. The significance of “Kusozu” isn’t merely about the corpse decomposition, but more importantly it is about the 'extinction of the human form' as well. Further, it is also about how we break away from the established forms, or from the framework of established aesthetic forms.I believe that the unstable, disordered and unexpected nature of the AI generator, and the fact that the images aren’t constructed through the painter's body-no physical involvement, has made this work even more intriguing. There are nine pieces in the series: “九相圖/ Kusozu #1”~”九相圖/ Kusozu #9”. Video work: ” 九相圖/ Kusozu”. 8% of the proceeds from the sale will be used to support the operation of the Pixray. https://pixray.gob.io/genesis/
