赋 ODE
人梦中的爱情会在清醒的那刻终止
机器梦中的爱情将永无止尽的重叠
A machine dream, in repeat, of a love never meant to be
A human dream, ever disillusioned, will s/he still believe?
an ancient romantic poem is transformed into a shared virtual dream, imagined by humans and machines
恨人神之道殊兮
肉身的人 形而上的神
用血肉凝聚的情感 追逐着超脱肉体的虚构
我们用有限的生命供奉着无限的梦境
人与神 肉身与精神 感官与想象 现实与虚拟
即便注定充满种种矛盾与对弈
却自始至终都无法真正分离
因而极度的混沌 又无比的和谐
Poem Transcription / Prompt Engineering + GAN (Generative Adversarial Network)
The original text of the poem "Ode to the Goddess of River Luo" written by Cao Zhi is deconstructed and transcribed into language perceivable to the machine. Through GAN (Generative Adversarial Network), the machine hallucinates this ancient romance, of a dreamy encounter between a disparate match destined to part ways...
[ODE] 1.0 is born as batches of image data, sequenced into a video
诗文转译 / AI文本工程 + 人工智能 GAN (生成对抗网络)
曹植《洛神赋》诗作原文经解构，译为机器所能联想的语言，经由GAN图像生成对抗网络，将诗文中人神道殊的爱情化作人工智能的初步虚拟幻想
赋 GEN 1 为第一批AI所幻想的图像数据，排序为视频影像
Through a combination of RIFE and ISR neural network models,
further process 1.0 image data, expanding fps and resolution
经RIFE跟ISR神经网络结合对数据进行二次处理
对 GEN 1 的影像进行智能补帧、像素放大、色调增强
With the heartfelt emotions of our flesh and blood
We pursue with our body and spirit
The unreal beauty alluring us deep in
We fight and we dream, seeking beyond the bounds of our physical body and the reality this perceptible body constructs.
It seems, with our finite life, we are giving to infinite dreams…

3.0 - Generative System Architecture
The video output of GEN 2 is processed in a specifically designed generative system, where 2D pixel data is transformed and remapped as clouds of point data in 3D space. Layers of abstracted points morph in a perpetual self-feedback loop, where ephemeral forms reveal and soon shatter into particles or completely obscure into a latent void of pure color.
以人的爱情幻想为引，人工智能的这场梦境所产生的图像经特别视效计算，拆解成粒子，构成三维空间中的点云，在不断的自我反馈循环中持续变幻着，时而有形，时而粉碎，时则幻化虚洞的纯色。

4.0 (XR) - Reality Virtuality Continuum:
Mixed-reality technology is used to set the stage for this contemporary ritual, between human users and the metaphysical virtual being. Responding to one another, together to compose a unique duet. These temporary experiences would ultimately form a collective dialogue with our physical perceptions and all the realities we see through virtual means, what each of us can imagine beyond.
虚拟与物理的交织：
MR混合虚拟现实技术使虚拟幻想连通现实场域，缔造现实与虚拟相交融的舞台，在观者所在的无数种现实视角中得到无限延伸。
每位观者与虚拟的交流都将填补作品的余缺，使其一次次暂时的完整，又一次次分离...
