什么是艺术智能？

What is Art Intelligence?

A.I.通常指"人工智能",但本文用来指"艺术智能",以强调艺术是一种智能技术的事实。人工智能的意思是用电脑模拟人的思维的技术,从人类的角度出发预测,推算和实施人类的某些行为和举止。人工智能是具有人赋予的工具特征的人类中心主义的技术。相比之下,艺术是一种超越人类中心主义的、本体论上的技术。艺术智能指的是用艺术让人类间接地接触在人类世界背后存在的宇宙的技术。在实践中,艺术的宇宙技术把宇宙中所有的存在(无论是人类与否还是西方或非西方,无论是有机的还是无机的)都看成是当代的;把任何宇宙中的媒介(无论是物质的还是非物质的,也无论是有生命的还是无生命的)都用于艺术的审美生成中。艺术智能的概念有助于推进对艺术与科技关系的深入理解。

A.I. usually stands for “artificial intelligence”. This essay, however, uses it to mean “art intelligence” to highlight the fact of art as an intelligent technic. Artificial intelligence-a computer-simulated modeling of the mind to predict, calculate and implement human-like behavior-is an anthropocentric technology. By contrast, art is an ontological technic that stretches beyond anthropocentrism. Art intelligence refers to an artistic cosmotechnics, a cosmological technology enabling humans to access to the universe behind the human world in vicarious ways. In practice, this cosmotechnics treats all beings-human （whether or not in the “West”） or inhuman, organic or inorganic-as contemporary; and incorporates all necessary media-material or immaterial, animate or inanimate-into art production. This concept of art intelligence extends the Heideggerian understanding of art as a technics.
