The impact of AI on creation (The AI Collective x /interface)
(中文版本在底部)
When does technology stop being a tool, and become the creator itself?
Join us at Whimsy Works gallery in Taipei for an evening panel on the most human question in AI right now: what happens to creativity when artists work with technologies that embed such strong creative propositions?
On Monday August 24th, three Taiwanese artists sit down together for the first time to talk openly about how AI has actually entered their creative process: where it helps, where it challenges them, and where they draw the line between "I create" Vs "The AI creates".
SPEAKERS
Simple Noodle Art
Simple Noodle Art is an art collective founded by Chen Zi-Yin and Chuang Hsiang-Feng in 2019. They use diverse media, including installation, video, photography, and AI. With backgrounds in art and computer science respectively, they explore the interaction between technology and humans, and how such interactions transform contemporary ways of living. Through interdisciplinary thinking, they aim to create works like simple noodles with simple ingredients, but with an amazing taste.
Simple Noodle Art is the recipient of the Prix Ars Electronica Honorable Mention (2023), and their works have been exhibited at venues including Ars Electronica Festival, LEV Festival, Jut Art Museum, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab, and Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei.
Yen Tzu Chang
Yen Tzu Chang (張晏慈) is a Taiwan-based new media artist and sound artist. She holds a BA in New Media Art from Taipei National University of the Arts and an MA in Interface Culture from Kunstuniversität Linz (2018). Her practice explores life's essence through philosophy and science, fusing art, programming, and technical media into interdisciplinary works and sound-based experimental performances. Some pieces use ready-made objects and DIY techniques, but the heart of her work is play: interactivity and shifting participants' roles. She has shown work internationally at Ars Electronica, roBOt 08, Linux Audio Conference, ISEA, Digital Design Weekend London, and Most Wanted: Music Berlin.
MODERATOR
New Yellow is a Taiwanese artist working with code, software, and generative processes. He has been exploring interactive new media since 2014 and AR since 2017, as a Meta Spark official teaching partner in Taiwan and winner of several Meta global contests. Since 2021 he has focused on blockchain and crypto art, releasing works via fxhash, Objkt, and Teia. His work has been exhibited at MoCA Taipei and Jut Museum. He was also the only Asian finalist in the Combine24 Generative Art Contest organized by the Finnish National Gallery.
WHAT WE'LL EXPLORE
→ How AI actually enters a creative process, from first prompt to finished work
→ What new perspectives does AI as a technology open up for artists
→ Where the artist's hand survives in machine-made images, and where it disappears.
→ What these artists love, fear, or refuse about AI
→ What AI does to authorship, craft, and the social life of art
WHO SHOULD COME
Artists, designers, musicians, writers, AI developers and anyone curious about the place of humans, and especially creators, in a post-AI world. No technical background needed.

「科技何時不再只是工具，而是成為創作者本身？」
8 月 24 日（週一）晚間，我們將在台北 Whimsy Works 藝廊舉辦一場座談，探討當前 AI 領域中最貼近人性的問題：當藝術家與蘊含強烈創作主張的技術合作時，創意會發生什麼變化？
三位台灣藝術家將首度同台，坦誠分享 AI 實際如何進入他們的創作流程：它在哪裡有所助益、哪裡帶來挑戰，以及他們如何劃下「我創作」與「AI 創作」之間的界線。
【講者】
Simple Noodle Art（陽春麵研究舍）— 由陳姿吟與莊向峰於 2019 年成立的藝術團體，運用裝置、錄像、攝影與 AI 等多種媒材。兩人分別具備藝術與電腦科學背景，探索科技與人類之間的互動如何改變當代生活方式；透過跨領域思考，希望以簡單的材料創作出如簡單麵條般、滋味令人驚豔的作品。曾獲 2023 年 Prix Ars Electronica 榮譽獎，作品展出於 Ars Electronica Festival、LEV Festival、忠泰美術館、國立臺灣美術館、臺灣當代文化實驗場及臺北市立美術館。
張晏慈（Yen Tzu Chang）— 台灣新媒體藝術家與聲音藝術家，臺北藝術大學新媒體藝術學士、林茲藝術大學（Kunstuniversität Linz）介面文化碩士（2018）。她的創作以哲學與科學探問生命的本質，融合藝術、程式與技術媒體，發展出跨領域作品與以聲音為基礎的實驗演出；部分作品使用現成物件與 DIY 技法，但核心始終是「遊戲」——互動性與參與者角色的轉換。作品曾於 Ars Electronica、roBOt 08、Linux Audio Conference、ISEA、倫敦 Digital Design Weekend 及 Most Wanted: Music Berlin 等國際場合展出。
【主持人】
New Yellow — 台灣藝術家，創作媒介為程式碼、軟體與生成式過程。自 2014 年探索互動新媒體，2017 年起投入 AR 創作，是台灣的 Meta Spark 官方教學夥伴，並屢獲 Meta 全球競賽獎項。2021 年起專注於區塊鏈與加密藝術，透過 fxhash、Objkt 與 Teia 發布作品；曾展出於臺北市立美術館與忠泰美術館，也是芬蘭國家美術館主辦的 Combine24 生成藝術競賽中唯一的亞洲決賽入圍者。
【我們將探討】 → AI 如何實際進入創作流程：從第一個 prompt 到完成作品 → AI 這項技術為藝術家開啟了哪些新視野 → 在機器生成的影像中，藝術家的「手」保留在何處、又在何處消失 → 這些藝術家對 AI 喜愛、恐懼或拒絕的是什麼 → AI 對作者身份（authorship）、工藝與藝術的社會生活帶來什麼影響
【適合誰來】 藝術家、設計師、音樂人、作家、AI 開發者，以及任何對人類——尤其是創作者——在後 AI 世界中的位置感到好奇的人。無需任何技術背景。
