"Accompanied by clouds and fog, mountains dwell in my mind."

Since ancient times, artists have depicted Huangshan through different "image" media, forming a unique Huangshan image and concept. From scroll paintings, prints to modern photography and videos, each medium is both realistic and abstract, both a personal expression and a collective imagination, both the real Huangshan and the fairy one. So we are asking that in our era, how can we use AI and AR as a new way to revive the old media and reconstruct the contemporary perception of Huangshan? 

Various artists and art media on Huangshan image were researched. Four representative milestones in the Huangshan Art History were selected, including Huangshan Zhi from the Song Dynasty, Shi Tao, the founder of the Huangshan painting school, the modern Chinese landscape painting master Huang Binhong from, and Lang Jingshan, China's earliest photography journalist. And four different approaches of media translation were applied accordingly, including Line Drawing, 2 Dimensional layer, 3 Dimensional Animation. As well as Generative AI with StyleGAN.

On the peak of Huangshan, the participants could overlay the generative images and animations on the existing scenery. It transports them beyond the here and now, across the continuum of time and space.

作品荣获黄山AR大赛决战光明顶奖、展出于安徽黄山玉屏楼、中华世纪坛 “2023 美丽中国纪事”展览的中心板块“携手的未来”。

 “云烟为友,万壑在胸。”

“云山图”是一种重新认知黄山的方式,一场跨越时空的对话。自古以来,人们通过不同的“图像”媒介对黄山进行描绘,形成了独特的黄山形象与观念。从卷轴画,版画到近现代的摄影与视频。每一种图像媒介,既是实景、又是抽象,既是个人表达、又是集体想象,既是现实存在的黄山,也是虚拟不存在的仙山形象。而在当今时代,我们如何利用全新的“图像”媒介与人工智能技术重新认知黄山?我们希望在结合增强现实、生成式AI等技术,展现黄山历史背后的文化和精神世界,通过无尽想象串联起过去、当下与未来。

作品通过对历史上不同艺术家、不同图像媒介的黄山云海与山峦的“图像”进行整理研究,在AR中进行动态、复合的呈现。体验者面向云海可以选择不同时代艺术家的生成式图像叠加在实体云海空间中,形成全新的、打破时空局限的“云山图”。
