Traditional handicrafts meet artificial intelligence

2024-12-13

Enter the keywords "celadon, lotus, incense burner", select the style, and the AI (artificial intelligence) program can provide several images that meet the requirements. Through continuous debugging of instructions, the final design was presented in a few minutes: the body was delicate, the glaze was glossy, and a wisp of green smoke rose from the lotus shaped incense burner. What impact does the transformation of art creation methods triggered by AI have on traditional handicrafts? AI: Fast and convenient, with diverse design ideas. The impact of AI on traditional handicrafts is first and foremost its role as a tool. On the one hand, AI can help artists expand their cognition and creativity. Professor Yin Bo from Shandong Academy of Arts and Crafts said that machine learning can acquire creative abilities by using massive amounts of data, such as sound, images, and text, to complete initial drafts, which can then be fed back to the audience through human-computer interaction, providing more possibilities for handicraft creation. On the other hand, AI plays a role in the protection and inheritance of traditional handicrafts. AI can analyze hundreds of pieces of information through a thin piece of ancient porcelain, including shape, texture, glaze, color, decoration, style recognition, and firing process. After 3D scanning, with the help of AI technology, professionals conducted data sorting and analysis on nearly 20 million ancient porcelain pieces excavated by Jingdezhen Ceramic Archaeology Research Institute. From the late Tang Dynasty to the Republic of China, a systematic and sequential genetic specimen of official and civilian kilns was established. This is of great significance for deciphering the ancient porcelain industry code and inheriting Chinese civilization. Behind these fragments, sections, and even powders lies the over two thousand year history of Jingdezhen's pottery making, and we must preserve it Weng Yanjun, the director of Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum, spoke excitedly about the establishment of the ancient ceramic gene bank. "The database powered by AI can provide unlimited innovation possibilities." The ancient ceramic gene bank helps design teams quickly and deeply grasp the background knowledge and materials of cultural relics, and effectively assists in the creation of handicraft IP and derivative cultural and creative products. Under the big language model, we can use the data from the ancient ceramic gene bank to 'feed' artificial intelligence. We believe that in the near future, ordinary people will also be able to easily design an exclusive ceramic cultural and creative product. "He looked forward with great anticipation. Traditional handicrafts: slow and meticulous work, unique beauty. When the dimension of time is shortened from a few months to a few minutes, and the highly demanding professional design becomes within reach, the rapidly evolving AI technology makes people doubt whether traditional handicrafts that "slow and meticulous work" still have competitiveness in today's world? The academic community has given a positive answer. It is precisely because of its "slow" nature that traditional handicrafts can develop personalized features in the "fast" era of AI technology development. Yin Bo said that in the process of industrial development, due to the constraints of productivity levels, the "slowness" of handicrafts has been widely replaced by industrial production. However, from the perspective of the "art" of handicrafts, what can be continued and preserved is precisely the irreplaceability of "slowness". Lv Pintian, Director and Distinguished Professor of the Institute of Folk Arts at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, said, "The most unique and important value of handicrafts is creativity." Traditional handicrafts are created by people and naturally endowed with expressions of beauty and emotions. As a personality subject, the emotions and humanity of the artist as' this one me ', as well as the corresponding expressions and confirmations, can never be replaced by artificial intelligence. "Lv Pintian also explained the uniqueness of traditional handicrafts from another perspective:" Earlier, everyone admired the modernity and urban environment that were different from rural life brought by industrial civilization. However, once we delve into it, we increasingly feel its monotony and tension that are difficult to dispel, and feel the coldness under its brilliance. It is in this situation that people turn their attention to handicrafts. "Every work completed by traditional craftsmen carries a unique temperature, like carving and grinding, according to the materials used. AI+Handicraft: Making Life More Emotional and with a Voice, "Chen Rihong, Vice Dean and Professor of the Handicraft College at Hubei University of Fine Arts, pointed out the current constraints on the development of traditional handicrafts." Currently, folk handicrafts are practical but lacking in aesthetics, and the handicrafts in colleges and universities are practical but lacking in aesthetics. "How to balance aesthetics and practicality? Looking back at history, from the painted pottery of the Yangshao period to the bronze ware of the pre Qin period, from the goddess statue of the Hongshan Culture to the giant Buddha of the Yungang Grottoes, from the exquisite five starred eastern chest protector to the exquisite silk phoenix threading through the peony painting, from the emerald colored secret porcelain of the thousand peaks to the rich ink and heavy colored Yuan blue and white porcelain, from the beautiful seated round carved jade figure of a woman to the Tian Huang triple imperial seal of Emperor Qianlong, from the felt hat of a woman in a small river cemetery to the Nine Dragon Phoenix Crown of Empress Xiaoduan of the Ming Dynasty... every handicraft originated from the needs of life and evolved in accordance with the development of the times. As Wu Nan, an associate researcher at the Institute of Arts and Crafts of the Chinese Academy of Arts, said, "The modern transformation and sustainable development of traditional handicrafts require two suitable environments in order to take root, sprout, and spread. Only when traditional handicrafts enter life and people have a sustained willingness and demand for consumption can they form economies of scale. The symbiotic relationship between AI and handicrafts may provide a solution to this problem. Yin Bo shared his observation: "In the era of AI, consumption has shown a trend of personalization, inward exploration, and emphasis on the quality of life. Handicrafts with long production time, low output, and possible defects have gained more favor from consumers due to their" time-consuming production "and" unique creativity ". The reason behind this is that traditional handicrafts are no longer just a means of creating wealth, but have become associated with aesthetic needs, humanistic feelings, and leisure life. Qiu Chunlin, Director and Researcher of the Institute of Arts and Crafts at the China Academy of Arts, said, "Handicrafts themselves carry the most orthodox traditional Chinese culture. They are both material and spiritual, so naturally, they have become an important carrier of cultural identity today. The national memories, social customs, and sensory experiences contained in traditional handicrafts have been passed down from the past to the present, and will be integrated into more scenarios with the support of AI, moving towards a broader path.
