基于人文主义的计算技术,对关键工具的批判性分析和测试,如信息检索和可视化、搜索引擎、图像到图像的搜索和建模、情绪分析、区块链身份验证、元字宙互操作性、用于知识聚合的AI和ML、量子增强模拟和叠加,这些技术的发展和应用不仅推动了社会的进步,也对人文学科的研究方法和视角产生了深远影响。特别是在数字媒体艺术领域,这些技术为艺术家和学者提供了新的表达手段和创作平台,
课程由南洋理工大学教授,国际知名数字人文专家安德里亚·纳内蒂博士担任主讲,以郑和下西洋这一历史事件为例,利用数字媒体艺术的多维方式进行表达和再现。从书籍手稿到人工智能生成的图像,文本和图像之间的关系和共振可以被重新定义和构建。例如,利用文本生成图像技术,可以根据历史文献中的描述自动创作出与郑和下西洋相关的图像,这些图像不仅能够提供视觉上的直观感受,还能够引发观众对于历史事件的深入思考。
课程利用纳内蒂教授所创建的一个名为工程历史记忆(EHM)的跨学科项目为背景,采用基于网络需求的解决方案,鼓励同学从不同视角展示郑和下西洋这一历史事件,如动画和剧本、UI和UX、简短的纪录片等,作为展示郑和下西洋这一历史事件的创新方式。让历史事件“活”起来,增强同学们的历史感知和文化认同。同时,通过这种方式,培养他们的批判性思维和创造性表达能力。
