The sixth World Artificial Intelligence Conference is in full swing, during which we can feel the rapid development of science and technology, but its unchanged core is precisely the deep history and culture of each step of the past. How to use science and technology to carry art, culture and history is an important proposition for the explosive development speed of artificial intelligence. Today, in the West Bund Art Museum in Xuhui District, an AIGC audio and painting experimental Chinese music performance was staged, allowing ordinary people to feel the AI art brought by the cyber Chinese music performance and the visual interaction of new media up close.
At 1 p.m., a scientific and technological performance called "Start" is being staged on the B1 floor of the West Bund Art Museum, which integrates avant-garde Chinese music performance, naked-eye 3D animation images, AI-generated installation art, virtual and real sound and light interactive performances, using traditional Chinese culture and new media technology as the carrier to create an immersive and technological sense of Chinese music light and shadow audio-visual performance.
It can be seen that from the design of the actors' costumes, tracks and timbre, scientific and technological attempts have been made. The patterns on the faces of the actors are the patterns on the chips or graphics circuit boards, and the clothing is also a combination of AI and 3D printing design, and in the holographic environment, the colors reflected by the clothes on their bodies will interact with the video in real time. The two musical instrument skeletal devices on the stage that resemble butterfly shapes and character shapes are also based on AI design and automatically formed through 3D printing. Artificial intelligence artist Zeng Chen introduced that the outline of the external structure of the installation is calculated by AIGC through a diagram, and then its structural matching is completed through the extended design, so that it conforms to force and structural science. The entire process is a unified workflow that is completely left to the machine. "This visual part uses a lot of AI drawing, the assembled sequence into frame animation, in the past micro-frame video is actually rarely directly converted into video because of its large calculation, frame by frame calculation takes a long time, this is a relatively new attempt."
The traces of artificial intelligence are integrated into the performance everywhere. The artist uses digital art technology as the medium and Chinese music as the carrier to explore art and culture. The performance images are all generated by AI, and the opening is in the form of naked-eye 3D to immerse the audience, and the element attributes bring a lot of technological color. Among them, there is a picture of people in the wheel, which shows the creativity of digital human and human-machine symbiosis. The instrument operated by the actor is linked to the LED screen and the musical instrument skeleton lighting group, and real-time interactive change effects are generated through TD software. The cool performance format makes the audience very engaged. Ms. Wei said after taking her children to watch: "The actors are dressed beautifully, I see that many instruments are surrounded by lights, the visual effects are also very fascinating, and with the music, I think that technology and music can be so beautifully combined, it is very beautiful!" ”
In addition to feeling the visual and auditory impact brought by technology, this performance also focuses on preserving traditional Chinese culture, the music is mainly Chinese music, the musical instruments are national musical instruments such as the horse head qin, pipa, guzheng, etc., and the costumes of the actors are also improved Hanfu. How to make ordinary people understand artificial intelligence is also the answer they give in this form. "How to combine high-tech things with ordinary people? We think it should be art. Because art is actually about everyone. Producer Li Yi said that the performance should not only show China's traditional culture and traditional musical instruments, but also combine with high technology to form a future with AI and scientific and technological attributes.
It is understood that this AIGC music and painting experimental Chinese music performance is the premiere in China, and tomorrow is the last day of the performance, from 1 pm to 5 pm, every hour will be performed.
