作品阐述
“Alizeh”是一个与女性有关的装置艺术作品,用于SiyuChen的影像作品中的秀场美术部分。
我收集了3000张来自不同地区不同年龄的女性照片,然后将这些数据上传到GAN代码运算程序中,最终通过人工智能的学习,使其生成一张不存在于这个世界上的女孩的面容。合作艺术家ZifengGuo则通过这张全新的面容,创造了一个虚拟女孩的完整形象,这个女孩是世界上万千女孩的集合体。在虚拟人的材质选择上,我最终选定了“风”这一个媒介,风是一个看不见摸不到的物质,像极了面对困境时渴望发声却力量微小的女孩的现状,因此我收集了秀场最终呈现场地的森林里的风的实时数据,将风的数据与材质设计结合,最终这个女孩的整体外观形象由风组成,将风可视化。
正如《邦查女孩》书中写道的那样,“你不用人教就会成为风的,不是每个人都会成为风,但有人可以。”每一阵风都值得被看到,每一个女孩的故事都值得被倾听。
Context
“Alizeh” is a female-related installation used in the stage art section of SiyuChen’s video work.
This project collected 3,000 photos of women of all ages from different regions, then uploaded this data into a GAN code computing program, which eventually learned through artificial intelligence, allowing it to generate the face of a girl who does not exist in this world. Collaborating artist ZifengGuo then uses this new face to create a complete image of a virtual girl who is an amalgamation of thousands of girls in the world. In choosing the material for the avatar, I chose the medium of ‘wind’, an invisible and untouchable material that resembles the current situation of a girl who is desperate for a voice but has little power in the face of adversity, so I collected the real-time data of the wind in the forest where the show was finally presented and combined the wind data with the material design. The overall appearance of the girl is made up of wind, visualizing the wind.
As the book <Bonanza Girl> says, “You don’t need to be taught to be the wind, not everyone can be the wind, but some can.” Every wind deserves to be seen and every girl’s story deserves to be heard.
