Proposal
This project is going to create a series of illustrations under different contexts by using AI. The main goal is to let the audience think about the relationship between logic and empathy. It will explore some scenarios about recent political or social events, to see how far the emotional aspects and bias can be contributed by AI’s illustration. Some context will be generated by the AI dungeon and the rest will be exported by humans. The project will also try to push each scenario as extreme as possible to see how scary or surprised at the end.
This project is not only going to explore the possibility of art that can be created by AI but also invoke people to caremore about the violence hidden under the fig leaves. In one aspect, the original intention of researching artificial intelligence is to try to makelife more convenient with high technology. The algorithm behind a successful AI encapsulates thousands of different personalities and behaviors, which we called big data. But humans are independent. When a person has too much emotional character, it tends to go to the extreme and lead to tragedy. People have judgment and formed ethics and three views under the development of the complexenvironment in the world. But what are the ethics of an AI? From another perspective, what can we see from AI is the same thing that we see from the social platform. In order to control the direction of public opinion, people not only fail to see the rumors but also fail to see the truth. There is a group ofpeople controlling what everyone else can see.
Statement----Dystopian Short Film
The camera starts with two future survivalmodes: the world of cyberpunk with high technological development and theliving environment of communism. However, the social gap between the rich andthe poor is large, the society is seriously graded, the of thought and speech is increasing. In front of the computer, we are likerobots living in the upper society. The war, famine and disease of the lowerpeople are controlled behind the screen. No one knows. The opacity ofinformation makes the upper-class people really live in a virtual world.
The short film aims to raise awareness ofwasteful modern practices, such as the reckless exploitation of naturalresources. Humans themselves are endangering their environment and putting thelives of future generations at risk. But the control of information online madethe serious truth a mixture of gossip and lies. If we are notwilling to make these conditions better, our planet could become uninhabitable.Moreover, I want to raise questions about the topic of creating virtual worlds:What exactly do we want the Artificial Intelligence to say?
