「極寂」從數據、程式語言、隕石、冥想的領域進行真實性的探討,看似毫無相關的領域,但都隱含了一個提問:什麼是真實?又或者說真實可否換算?如同我們從數據相信自己的身體狀況,又如同從一小點的圓球顆粒看見了幾億年的時間脈絡、冥想過程中自己與世界的關係、建構與資料的真實性。
這件作品所探討的人工智慧,並非呈現其技術、龐大的運作數據、生成、演算邏輯等,也並非在提問人工智慧是否會思考、有意識等問題,主要是探討現今人工智慧背後龐大的文本跟個體之間的關係,以及人工智慧生成的人工美學及主客體的問題。
In the Wild discusses reality from data, programming languages, meteorites, and meditation. The seemingly irrelevant fields all point to the same question: What is the reality? In other words, can reality be converted? Just as we rely on data to understand our health; we see through the timeline of hundreds of millions of years from a tiny dot in the universe; we explore the relationship between ourselves and the world through meditation; we build the authenticity of data with programming languages.
In the Wild doesn’t aim to present the technology, massive operational data, or generative and computing logic of artificial intelligence; neither does it question whether artificial intelligence can think or be conscious. Instead, this work mainly reflects the relationship between the massive texts behind today’s artificial intelligence and the individuals, as well as the issues that come along with artificial intelligence, such as artificial aesthetics and subject-object relation.
