Abstract

Based on the analysis of human-AI (artificial intelligence) collaboration in creating Chinese landscape painting, this article aims to develop the relationship between AI aesthetics and HCI in the context of Chinese aesthetics. We construct a multi-level analysis framework and propose three unique AI Aesthetics models under the framework—the dynamic brushwork (bi-mo) model, the imaged mind (xin-yin) model, and the embodied narrative (shi-jing) model. We believe that the most promising AI aesthetics approach is to promote the collaboration between human and AI. The primary research task at present is to develop interactive creation platforms. In the long run, brain-AI interactive communication will help realize mutual inspiration between human and AI, thereby stimulating more creativity.
