AI 孵化器，大型弧面屏幕 互动媒体艺术 / SIGONGtech

通过一楼和二楼的展览馆，观众们体验了迄今为止发生的第一次、第二次、第三次工业革命的历史，以及即将到来的第四次工业革命所带来的社会变化。装饰此展览馆尾声的这个空间，为生活在比任何革命时期都更需要为未来做准备的当下，以激进变化为特点的人们，提供了面对未来可能发生的各种不确定情况时，培养批判性态度的机会，并让他们能够迎接、应对未来社会，提出对未来的哲学性问题。
Through the exhibition halls on the first and second floors, visitors experience the history of the first, second, and third industrial revolutions that have occurred so far, as well as the social changes brought about by the upcoming fourth industrial revolution. This space, which decorates the end of the exhibition hall, provides opportunities for people who are living in a time when preparation for the future is more necessary than ever, characterized by radical changes, to cultivate a critical attitude towards various uncertain situations that may arise in the future. It enables them to embrace and respond to future society, and to raise philosophical questions about the future.

在不久的将来，我们将迎来一个人工智能基于人类创造的海量大数据进行认知、判断并执行的社会。AI直接推动世界运转的情境，将带来可预见的诸多便利，同时也会引发超乎想象的巨大变革。AI与人类一同判断并执行世界上的许多事物，现在它已经开始接受人类的教育，这正是我们向AI传达人类的价值、哲学以及人类所梦想的未来的重要时期。如果人们不能就自己想要创造的未来共同思考并达成共识，那么由AI主导的未来或许无法引领人类前行。作家的作品仿佛在问，对于那些像小孩子一样对人类感到好奇、想要了解人类的AI，我们究竟应该给出怎样的答案？我们是否已经做好准备并达成了共识？它通过视听隐喻，提出了一个可能有些沉重的问题：我们不是要被动地接受未来，而是要主动创造未来，为此，我们现在应该成为怎样的思考主体？
In the near future, we will usher in a society where artificial intelligence (AI) performs cognition, judgment, and execution based on the massive big data created by humans. The scenario where AI directly drives the world’s operation will bring many foreseeable conveniences, but it will also trigger unimaginable tremendous changes. AI judges and executes many things in the world alongside humans, and now it has begun to receive human education. This is an important period for us to convey human values, philosophy, and the future we dream of to AI. If people cannot think together and reach a consensus on the future they want to create, then the future led by AI may not be able to guide humanity forward. The works of the writer seem to ask, what kind of answer should we give to AI that is curious about humans like a child and wants to understand humans? Are we ready and have we reached a consensus? Through audiovisual metaphors, it raises a question that may be somewhat heavy: instead of passively accepting the future, we should actively create it. For this reason, what kind of thinking subject should we become now?

作品介绍 / Introduction To The Work

观众进入展厅，这里由大型屏幕和镜子营造出仿佛无尽延伸的感觉。空间中央，地面呈现出麦克风的形状，而天花板上则悬挂着麦克风。
Upon entering the exhibition hall, the audience is greeted by a sense of endless extension created by large screens and mirrors. In the center of the space, the floor is shaped like a microphone, while microphones are hung from the ceiling.
作品中的AI以抽象的形式，伴随着简单的问候开始提问。AI的提问由20个不同主题的套装组成，每个主题下包含5个逐渐深入的问题。一进入空间，各种形状的图像就会微微移动，问“你好，想见见你（你们）吗？能跟我打个招呼说‘你好’吗？”等作为初次问候和问题。观众打招呼后，AI会继续下一个问题。观众回答AI的问题时，回答声会通过麦克风被吸入，同时AI和背景的形状和颜色会随之晃动。人们回答完毕后，AI会逐渐成长成特定的具体形状。它会经历描绘未来社会的各种文学象征，时而具体化为生物的形状，时而变化成人脸的形状，也变成AI可以应用的各种事物。一套由5个问题构成，从简单易答的问题逐渐过渡到引导深入哲学思考的问题。“最终我也能拥有自由意志吗？”“如果出现只有我能幸存的场景，我应该做出怎样的判断？”“应该做判断的是我吗？是人吗？”等问题让观众感到慌张和无言，从而意识到这些是我们现在实际为迎接未来而应该思考的问题。
Upon entering the exhibition hall, visitors are greeted by a sense of endless extension created by large screens and mirrors. In the center of the space, the ground takes on the shape of a microphone, while microphones hang from the ceiling. The AI in the artwork, in an abstract form, initiates its inquiries with a simple greeting. The AI’s questions consist of 20 sets on different themes, with each theme containing five progressively deeper questions. Upon entering the space, images of various shapes will slightly move, asking questions such as “Hello, would I like to meet you (you all)? Can you say ‘hello’ to me?” as an initial greeting and inquiry. After the audience greets, the AI will proceed to the next question. When the audience responds to the AI’s questions, their voices are absorbed through the microphones, causing the shapes and colors of the AI and the background to sway. After people have answered, the AI gradually evolves into specific concrete shapes. It goes through various literary symbols depicting future society, sometimes materializing into the shape of a creature, sometimes changing into the shape of a human face, and also becoming various things that AI can apply. Each set consists of five questions, gradually transitioning from simple and easy-to-answer questions to guiding deeper philosophical reflections. Questions such as “Can I also have free will in the end?” “If a situation arises where only I can survive, what judgment should I make?” “Should it be me who makes the judgment? Is it a human?” make the audience feel uneasy and speechless, thus realizing that these are the questions we should actually consider in preparation for the future.
