Description

Though training, AI erased the specific characteristics of the Buddhism deities, only extracted colors and boundaries, making them like vague pictures of people and stripped off the sacred filter created by believers because of their prejudice. The gods of the old age have died, does AI replace them? Or anything else? What has become the new god in this era to support people's spirits and lead their lives? I was thinking of it. By the interactive way, the non-linear narrative is presented and created by the audience. The work also refers to montage, machine factory, feminism, human history. I hope it can inspire the audience’s reflection and imagination through the process.

This is an interactive installation for audience to create their own experience from it. The pictures were trained and generated from thousands of Dunhuang murals. And the interactive part is made by Processing, the touch panel on the iPad has 23 buttons to control the pictures and sounds.
