到流动中去:人工智能时代的设计转向

Getting intotheFlow:Design Shift tin the Era of Artificial Intelligence

人工智能的出现加剧了社会从一种稳定、有序的结构转变为动态、流变的形态,在此背景下设计的“流动”属性愈发明显。在设计的发展历程中出现过若干关于“流”的概念:工艺美术运动时期涌现的各大设计流派、工业革命时期提高生产效率的流水线、将社会网联的智能时代流量、正在重塑设计流程的AIGC工作流等,流和信息流成为根植于现代社会的基本单位。本文探讨了人工智能时代下的设计流动性转向,在其影响下,设计物在迭代,从物的数化到数的物化的关系中流转;设计链被重构,从单向的设计链转向为任一起点的设计流变;设计场在融合,从物理场域升维到自由流动的虚实混合场域。面临技术奇点的到来,设计再也无法忽视人工智能对其带来的巨大冲击,今天的设计需要在人工智能带来的流动性影响下被重新思考。

The emergence of artificial intelligence has intensified the transformation of society from a stable and orderly structure to a dynamic and fluid form,making the"fluidity"attribute in design increasingly evident.Throughout the development of design,several concepts related to"flow"have emerged:the various design schools that emerged during the Arts and Crafts movement,the assembly lines that increased production efficiency during the Industrial Revolution,the traffic of the intelligent era that connects social networks,and the AIGC workflows that are reshaping the design process.Flow and information flow have become the basic units'rooted in modern society.This paper explores the shift towards fluidity in design in the era of artificial intelligence,under whose influence,design objects are iterating,circulating from the quantization of objects to the objectification of numbers;the design chain is restructured,shifting from a unidirectional design chain to a design flow that starts from any point;the design field is merging,from the physical domain to a freely flowing mixed field of virtual and real.Faced with the arrival of the technological singularity,design can no longer ignore the tremendous impact brought by artificial intelligence.Today's design needs to be rethought under the fluidity impact brought by artificial intelligence.
