Description
He Zike’s “E-dream: We’ll stay, forever, in this way (2020 selected)” can be seen as a connecting portal between the real and the simulated. This real-time website hosts an intelligent program that constantly adapts stories written and broadcasted by the media. Information is then processed into dialogue which creates a fragmented story between Jack and Rose—the two protagonists of the site, whose interview with the media will never end.<br/>This work is made possible by a deep learning algorithm that follows a set of rules. While dramatically playing text from mainstream English international news, it simultaneously translates the results, and searches for associated sounds and images on Chinese websites. As a result, the original meaning of the news gradually dispels, transforming from documentary records into ambiguous narratives. Over time, the content of the piece varies due to current events and changes in the media world.<br/>The program has been running online since 2018, and this special video edition was created from hundreds of thousands of results in 2020.<br/>贺子珂的《 电子梦 : 我们将如此继续 》(2020年选段)可以被视为现实世界和模拟世界之间的一个链接端口。这个可实时访问的网站搭载着一个不断从被媒体书写和传播的现实中挖掘素材进行故事改编的智能程序。 这些信息被处理为主角 Jack 和 Rose 的对话和碎片故事 , 他们将在此与媒体世界永久共生。<br/>作品涉及深度学习算法和一系列规则设置的应用,对主流英语国际新闻文本进行了戏剧化的演绎, 同时对结果进行在线翻译,获取声音并在中文网站进行图片联想。由此,信息原始的含义被逐步消解,从纪实记录转向含义模糊的叙述,并产生可能错位的匹配。 随着时间的推移,作品的内容将随着当下的发生与媒体世界的改变而发生微妙的变化。<br/>这个程序自2018年以来,一直在线上运行,这次展出的特别影像版本为2020年生成内容的精选合集。
