Mu (Grace) Cheng, Grade  7

Title: True Calligraphy

Medium: Chinese Ink on Xuan Paper, copy paper

Artist Statement:

In this work, I use three kinds of characters, a seal script, an official script, and a cursive script. And the fourth one is how the AI writes the characters. The four kinds of writing are ways to write in Chinese of the word “Artificial Intelligent”. The top row of English, pd.read – csv (), is a function in the pandas library, used to read Chinese characters correctly. This is an important part of AI writing calligraphy.

I want to show others how AI has changed how we record things. In ancient China, people recorded things by writing calligraphy, and because of technology, we now use AI to record things.  What we write with the brush in our hands is not only one Chinese character but also our understanding of Chinese culture. AI views calligraphy as a series of symbols. I think only human hands can create true works of art. In the realm of traditional culture, AI cannot replace humans.
