Exhibition view

希區柯克1954年的著名電影《後窗》讓觀看者以窺視者的身份，進入他人的私人空間，在目之所見與心之所想之間，用移動的影像架起銀幕內外探索真相的隱形橋樑。中央美術學院設計學院藝術與科技方向教授、策展人費俊告訴記者，“這一展覽標題中的‘後窗’，就如同希區柯克的電影一樣，通過窺探的視角進入到人工智慧技術的背後，去發現其技術本身所隱含的文化真相。同時，我們也希望通過藝術家的寓言方式，表達藝術家如何回應人工智慧對生活，對未來產生的改變的命題。”

In the exhibition, Wang Zhigang's "Tuengel" presents the nomadic world of the electronic wasteland from the perspective of future archaeology. Fei Jun and Liu Zhengkui's "Emotional Theater: Landscape Mood" uses artificial intelligence and emotional computing technology to detect and present the audience's emotions.

展覽現場，克勞蒂亞·拉歇爾《AI and ART of the Historical Reinterpretation》

Joey Holder's Mysterious Creatures is an interdisciplinary project that examines Western culture's notion of the "other" through an in-depth study of biological assemblages; Mark Lee's Evolutionary Speculation, Prototype 30 imagines a speculative ecosystem 0 years from now, where artificial intelligence and biotechnology co-create and optimize species that can adapt to increasingly harsh environments.

Another exhibition, "Media Creation and Ontological Crossing - Robot Art China", presents 25 works by 0 Chinese artists (groups), all of which are created by the artists with humanoid robot art as their research direction. Zhang Haitao, the curator of the exhibition, told reporters, "The exhibition tries to make the steel body of the robot present in a shell more similar to that of a human, and perceive the world autonomously from the perspective of the protagonist, rather than being fed by data." ”

For example, Yu Ke's work "Home" shows a family microcosm in the future human-machine integration society: a robot holding a baby and a robot that can make facial micro-expressions; The same is true of Li Hang's "Imitation Game" and Lu Liantao's "Before I Can Walk Upright".

Group 01 "The Death of the Body"

"Future Bard" is a robotic installation artwork that combines a large language model and an expression generation algorithm. The main body of the work is a bionic machine head, whose design is inspired by the image of a classical bard, like a troubadour from the future, engaging in a dialogue with the surrounding audience across time and space; The work "The Death of the Robot" is an attempt to use artistic perspectives and techniques to intervene in the discussion of topics such as "original sin"; "The Face Rubber" simulates the scene of the penitent's atonement, calmly rubbing the wooden face with a hand full of files, and the wooden face is filed, thinner and thinner, until it is exhausted. These works are expressions of the robot's will and beliefs.

The "Mars and Mars Brothers Driving" series shows the coexistence of human and machine in the form of comical jokes; Works such as Liu Jiayu and Huang Enqi's "Illusion Machine" and Xu Yibo's "Gaze" touch on the topic of human-machine social structure.
