Mulan Dream Series
Jiayang Huang and Yiran Chen
Abstract
Artificial Intelligent Generation Content (AIGC), has been widely disseminated in the fields of technology, academia, and the arts. This project explores the application of various AI tools and the visualization of dream experiences through multimedia. It utilizes AI-generated multimodal materials as perceptible dream content, employs light and mechanical installations to create immersive dream atmospheres, and employs a fictional AI-Mulan narrator to recount her dream story. Through artistic practice, it delves into Mulan's unconscious realm and conducts a psychoanalysis of a historical figure. It represents an interdisciplinary exploration of art and psychoanalysis through AI visualization.
