網路上之數位影像
我在人工智慧（AI）程式內輸入「美展最想要的畫」指令，素描其生成圖像和文字答覆，後拍攝並上傳網路，那AI圖像生成器抓取學習素材之處，將其化為未來影像的養分。

技術不僅是工具，更是新時代意義的推手。關鍵不在「人工與AI繪畫孰優孰劣」——雙方各擅勝場，同一標準比較忽略了兩者的潛力——而在「AI之後的繪畫有何可能性」。我融合人工與AI繪畫，呼應人類與非人類界線越發模糊的社會現況，同時，利用非常規指令，凸顯AI的侷限（受制於操作者與數據庫）和隱性偏見（東方主義），進而詢問：素材由誰搜索、組織、形塑？技術和藝術仰賴哪些物質條件，又如何交互影響？當手藝、稀缺性、原創性皆不若以往「難能可貴」，我們對藝術家、繪畫、著作權的期待有何變化？以及最終，我們最想要的藝術究竟是甚麼？

Digital image on the Internet
I hand-drew AI software’s pictorial and textual outcomes on “the most wanted painting of the art exhibition,” took photo, and uploaded the digital image to the Internet, which image synthesis models scrape artists’ images from, serving as the material of future AI painting.
The work draws attention to the handmade process and our current situation that AI increasingly interweaves into, as well as echoing Most Wanted Paintings (1995) project of Komar & Melamid, continuing their “people’s art” survey in the age of AI.
