墨尔本艺术与科技工作室 ENESS 创作的《现代大师与通往人工智能幸福之路》凭借其深刻的叙事和充满人工智能的先进技术充气装置，荣获 2024 年 FRAME 年度展览奖。

Modern Guru and the Path to Artificial Happiness by Melbourne-based art and technology studio ENESS has been awarded the 2024 FRAME Exhibition of the Year for its insightful storytelling and technically-advanced inflatables that are alive with AI.

展览提供了一种新型的艺术互动方式，标题人物“现代大师”在检测到参观者拍摄他的照片时，会给出人工智能生成的智慧。在整个展览中，人们沿着神秘的旅程探索现代幸福之路，并提出关于人工智能时代的智慧、幸福和灵性的问题。

Offering a new type of art interaction, the titular character – Modern Guru – dispenses AI-generated wisdom as he detects visitors taking his photo. Throughout the exhibition, modern paths to happiness are explored along a mystical journey, raising questions about wisdom, happiness, and spirituality in the age of AI.

一场与现场互动、不断演变的故事展览

A site-responsive exhibition with an ever-evolving story

这件充满创意的作品已在世界巡回展出，以适应七种不同的文化，并计划举办更多展览。该作品的体验经过精心重新设计，以适应不同的场地和市场，同时确保信息仍然有效，艺术突破了技术和艺术的界限。

This creatively ambitious work has been reconfigured for seven different cultures on its world tour, with more exhibitions in the pipeline. The experience is carefully reframed for different sites and markets, while ensuring that the message remains effective and the art pushes technical and artistic boundaries.

随着世界对人工智能的不断发展做出反应，展览的故事也在不断发展，探索新的推测领域，例如人工智能将对艺术家产生的影响。目前正在法国卢瓦尔河谷的布卢瓦皇家城堡展出，为了回应当前媒体的关注，人工智能的环境足迹被新近地融入到作品中。

As the world responds to ongoing AI developments, the exhibition story also evolves, exploring new areas of speculation, such as the effects that AI will have on artists. Currently being exhibited at Château Royal de Blois, in the Loire Valley, France, the environmental footprint of AI was freshly incorporated into the work in response to current media attention.

迄今为止的演变……

The evolution, so far...

探索现代幸福之路的神秘旅程从最初在法国沙托吉龙艺术中心首次亮相，到在台湾展出 1000 平方米，规模扩大了三倍。接下来在泰国的展览融入了大量旁白、人工智能游戏和会说话的人物。

The mystical journey exploring modern paths to happiness tripled in size from its initial debut in Centre d'art à Châteaugiron, France, to a 1000 square metre installation in Taiwan. The following exhibition in Thailand saw the incorporation of extensive narration, an AI game, and talking characters.

原创人物瑜伽士和森林舞者均为 10 米高，象征着现代世界的创作自由，并根据每个新场地的参数交替使用。

森林舞者有一条六米宽的裙子，裙摆上装饰着 LED 灯，她通过几何图形和巧妙计算的气压相互作用来保持平衡。当游客穿过她的手臂时，运动传感器会发出铃声来提醒他们，每七位游客都会获得更长的舞步。

Original characters Yogi and the Forest Dancer, both 10-metres tall, symbolise creative freedom in the modern world, and are used interchangeably depending on the parameters of each new site.

Forest Dancer features a six-metre-wide skirt adorned with LEDS and balances as she does largely through the interplay of geometry and cleverly calculated air pressure. As visitors move through her arms, the motion sensor sets off a bell-like chime to acknowledge their presence, and longer flourishes are gifted upon every seventh visitor.

太阳神是为第三次展览设计的。他站在长长的充气台阶顶端，代表着他的舌头，俯瞰着整个装置。使用时，五十个独立的充气装置组成了这个巨大的装置，其强度足以承受许多观众同时攀爬其广阔的空间来与太阳神会面。

The Sun God was developed for the third exhibition. He surveys the installation from the top of a long flight of inflatable steps representing his tongue. When used, fifty separate inflatables make up this extensive feature, one that is strong enough to withstand many audience members simultaneously scaling its expanse to meet the Sun God.

《任性森林》是一片光秃秃的树林，与自由旋转、充满创造力的森林舞者形成鲜明对比。与民间传说中的许多森林一样，这片森林有着一种诡异的边缘。《任性森林》提出了关于人工智能的未来及其对人类意味着什么的问题。

“人工智能并不关心感知能力。对人工智能来说，树木是一种可以被操纵的形式，” ENESS 艺术家兼创始人 Nimrod Weis解释道。“作为有感知能力的生物，我们理解树木最深层的意义，因此，《Wayward Forest》反映了我们目前对人工智能的担忧。”

The Wayward Forest is a cluster of denuded trees, contrasting with the twirling, creatively free Forest Dancer. Like many forests in folklore, this forest has an eerie edge. The Wayward Forest poses questions about the future of AI and what it may mean for humans.

“AI doesn’t care about sentience. To AI, a tree is a form to be manipulated," explains Nimrod Weis, Artist and Founder of ENESS. "As sentient creatures, we grasp the deepest significance of trees and, in this way, the Wayward Forest reflects our current concerns about AI.”

现代大师角色解释

The Modern Guru character explained

在所有展览中，主角始终不变——现代大师——一个半透明的卵形物体，有四只超大的数字眼睛，漂浮在一圈 LED 灯之上。他嘴里流淌着荒诞的信息，当参观者拍下他的照片时，他传递出了一种关于生活体验真实本质的新信息——这种信息只为那些想要拍摄生活而不是活在当下的人而制作。

Through all exhibitions, the central character remains – Modern Guru – a translucent ovoid with four oversized digital eyes, floating above a ceremonial ring of LEDs. Absurdist messages flow from his mouth and, in a statement about the true nature of lived experience, a new message is delivered when visitors take his photo – a missive produced only for those who seek to photograph life rather than live the moment.

人工智能为《现代大师》生成的睿智名言包括：“敢于欣赏别人未曾欣赏的事物”，这一深刻的名言提出了一个问题：在人工智能驱动的人类未来中，智慧将从何而来。

《现代大师和通往人工幸福之路》是 ENESS 工作室的最新充气装置，ENESS 工作室致力于融合艺术与技术，突破充气等媒介的界限。

Wise quotes generated by AI for Modern Guru include: “Dare to admire things no one else has admired,” a profundity that questions from where wisdom will stem in a human future driven by AI.

Modern Guru and the Path to Artificial Happiness is the latest inflatable installation from ENESS, a studio dedicated to fusing art and technology and pushing the boundaries of mediums like inflatables.

ENESS 方法

The ENESS approach

“我们将充气物视为一种媒介——就像木炭或油漆一样——这是我们不断研究的基础材料，”韦斯补充道。“在 Modern Guru 中，我们通过在 Guru 的‘嘴巴’安装打印机来测试极限，AI 信息就是从这里传出来的。这需要对气压和工程学的理解。”

“We treat inflatables as a medium – like charcoal or paint – it’s a base material we are constantly investigating," adds Weis. "With Modern Guru, we are testing the limits by mounting a printer at the Guru’s ‘mouth’, from which AI messages spool. This requires an understanding of air pressure and engineering.”

可持续性是主要考虑因素，整个 1000 平方米的展览都是由充气材料搭建的，以尽量减少硬质材料并减少飞行里程。所有展览布料都通过塑料回收公司回收。皮被分解、加工并返回到原始塑料，用于纺织品和其他产品的包装。

Sustainability is a key consideration, with the entire 1000 square metre exhibition constructed from inflatables to minimise hard materials and cut down on air miles. All exhibition fabric is recycled through a plastics recycling company. The skins are broken down, processed, and returned to raw plastic for reuse in packaging as textiles and other products.
