The advent of the AI era has brought new features and expression methods to art. Diversified AI technologies has made art break through the traditional form cycle. Human beings can feel the environment more truly through the transformation of digital programs. Meanwhile, AI’s characteristic of automation has reconstructed the relationship between creators, viewers, and works of art. The creator, with its identity hidden in data codes, becomes the designer and maintainer, while the viewer becomes the provider of data, participating in the creation of works more actively and enriching the interactivity of works of art. The transformation of the identity of the creator and the viewer also drives the transformation of the identity of works of art. GAN and other technologies with the function of independently generating works of art make works of art become another subject of creation. It seems that works of art becomes an “artist”. Therefore, it is particularly important to explore the relationship between human beings and artificial intelligence. This research,selecting four excellent works in the field of AI interactive art, analyzes the interactive reconstruction in the works, and, on this basis, further explains the author’s own AI interactive art work Chemistry.
Chemistry is an interactive art work created mainly with the technology of the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). We use GAN to identify the viewers’ facial features and age them. With the four seasons changing and flowers withering in animation style, the viewers have empathy with the work in the process of watching the aging of their faces, extending human consciousness, and also the emotional space of viewers and works. In the process of creating Chemistry, through analyzing the precedent works of art, we find that artificial intelligence cannot accurately and effectively identify the deep emotion fluctuations of human beings. On the contrary, art is the one of the most human things. Human beings create art, while, at the same time, art keep influencing everyone with its invisible thoughts. Therefore, through the creation of the art work Chemistry, we hope to use “art” as a “bridge” to connect humans and artificial intelligence, so as to make technology more humanized.
This research explores the reconstruction of the relationship between human beings and artificial intelligence with the philosophical thinking of inter-subjectivity, and, based on the practice of thinking inspired by the author's artificial intelligence interactive work of art, expounds the interactive art in the era of artificial intelligence, and discusses the changes of the context by integrating “interaction” into the background of human scientific and technological development. The rethinking of the relationship between creators, works and viewers in the era of artificial intelligence, the philosophical view that artificial intelligence is the extension of human consciousness, and the view of human-computer symbiosis and the interconnection of all things are also discussed in This research. It comes to the conclusion that we should study the relationship between human beings and artificial intelligence from the perspective of philosophy when, today, the whole society pays more attention to scientific and technological research, and pay attention to the initiative of artificial intelligence as a medium.
