赋 Original

With the heartfelt emotions of our flesh and blood
We pursue with our body and spirit
The unreal beauty alluring us deep in
We fight and we dream, seeking beyond the bounds of our physical body and the reality this perceptible body constructs.
It seems, with our finite life, we are giving to infinite dreams…

an ancient romantic poem is transformed into a shared virtual dream, imagined by humans and machines

The original text of the poem "Ode to the Goddess of Luo River" written by Cao Zhi is deconstructed and transcribed into language perceivable to the machine. Through GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) and CLIP (Contrastive Language–Image Pre-training Network), the machine hallucinates this ancient romance, of a dreamy encounter between a disparate match destined to part ways...
The output imageries are then processed in a custom generative system, where 2D pixels are transformed and remapped as clouds of point data in 3D space. Layers of abstracted points morph in a perpetual self-feedback loop, where ephemeral forms reveal and soon shatter into particles or completely obscure into a latent void of pure color.

A machine dream, in repeat, of a love never meant to be
A human dream, ever disillusioned, will s/he still believe?
