智能性生成与生物性生成:艺术生命的双重路径

Intelligent Generation and Biological Generation:the Dual Path of Artistic Life

在生成式人工智能技术影响下,艺术的境遇与可能成为当前艺术研究的全新议题,进而引发了人们对于未来人类主体性方式的探讨。在当代艺术中,AI艺术与生物艺术分别从技术与自然两个角度呈现了截然不同的本体构成,但二者在被创作的过程中都与生成性有着本质上的关联。智能性生成基于生成对抗网络与大型预训练模型等人工智能技术,生物性生成依托的是生命有机体的自然生长过程。在艺术生成的意义上,AI艺术的交互性与情感性深化了人类主体性的自觉;生物艺术的自然性与生长性指引人类从以往对于自身的僵化观念中解放出来,以更广阔的角度审视自我。二者共同显示了艺术由“制造”向“生成”的创作模式转换,最终指向的都是人类之于未来主体性方式的探索,以及人与技术、自然的共生空间的建立。在这种挑战与机遇并存的时代之下,人机共生与生态共生的双重路径能够为人类活动方式与人类生存世界之间的动态关系提供新的理解与建构方案。

Under the influence of generative artificial intelligence technology,the situation and possibility of art have become a new topic in the current art research,which has triggered discussion on the future of human subjectivity.In contemporary art,AI art and bio art present completely different ontological compositions from the perspectives of technology and nature respectively,but both are intrinsically related to generation in the process of creation.Intelligent generation is based on artificial intelligence technologies such as generative adversarial networks and large-scale pre-training models,and biological generation relies on the natural growth process of living organisms.In the sense of art generation,the interaction and emotion of AI art deepen the consciousness of human subjectivity.The naturalness and growth of bio art guide human beings to liberate from the past rigid concept of themselves and examine themselves from a broader perspective.Both of them show the transformation of art from“production”to“generation”,which ultimately points to the exploration of human’s subjectivity in the future and the establishment of the symbiotic space between human,technology and nature.In this era of challenges and opportunities,the dual path of human-machine symbiosis and ecological symbiosis can provide a new understanding and construction scheme for the dynamic relationship between human activities and the world of human existence.
