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.

NYU College Visit

We are excited to host a New York University information session on our campus for the first time.

The admissions officer, Bridget Hastead, will kindly provide the school’s information session for our upper school community.

“NYU is a truly global institution with three main campuses: New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai. In addition to these three degree-granting campuses, NYU operates 13 global centers where students can study away.  We offer an intentionally global education. The New York campus hosts more international students than any other US university. In NYC, students choose from over 100 majors and gain invaluable experience living and learning in New York. NYU Abu Dhabi offers a small, diverse community of scholars and world citizens who reap the benefits of a large university on a small campus. NYU Shanghai is the first dual US-Chinese university. Half of all NYUSH students are Chinese nationals while the other half are from countries around the world. ”
