According to Chinese scholars, the Object-Oriented Ontology(OOO) is not a novel idea. Wang Guowei(王国维), a modern Chinese scholar, mentioned the concept of ‘selfless state’ (无我之境) when reshaping modern aesthetic conception theory(意境论), which reflects a similar object-oriented perspective. Particularly in poetry, the juxtaposition of ‘images’ to create an artistic conception is a foundational way of Chinese thought to approach the basement. We base our work on live AI-generated poetry by connecting an app to a smartphone camera, executing visual functions, and generating keywords by recognising everything in the exhibition space and then generating poetry. Finally, we created a set of AI calligraphy fonts based on the work of Yuichi Inoue, which are mirrored and projected onto an airborne installation. This creates an impression of something writing from within outwards, enhancing the role of artificial intelligence as a non-human aspect of objects. We want to disscuss can AI replaces subject position by humans and help us to tracing the question of ‘objects’ .

中国学者认为,物导向本体论(OOO) 并不是一个新思路。中国近代学者王国维在重塑近代美学观念论(意境论)时就提到了 “无我之境 ”的概念,并体出物导向本体论的观点。特别是在诗歌创作中,将 “意象 ”并置以创造出的意境是中国思想接近“基底”问题的一种方法。

我们的作品以人工智能现场生成诗歌为基础,将一个应用程序连接到智能手机摄像头,执行视觉功能,通过识别展览空间中的事物为成关键词后生成诗歌。最后,我们根据井上有一的作品生成了一套人工智能书法字体,并将其镜像投射到空中装置上。这给人一种由内而外书写的印象,增强了人工智能作为物体的非人类方面的特征。我们想讨论的是,人工智能能否取代人类的主体地位,并帮助我们追溯 “物 ”的问题。
